Ted and family, I was saddened to hear of Judy''s death upon my return to CWCP. As one of her infusion nurse''s, I must tell you how much I admired her fighting spirit, love for her family(she adored those grandkids) and enthusiasm for life. I once told her that in our field we tend to put up a "survival wall" around us for self protection and she was one of the rare one''s who slipped under mine. I will miss her. God bless you all. Love, Joan RN

Dear Ted and Family, Please accept our deepest condolences for your loss of Judy. There are a lot of great memories from those Children''s Home and CESA family events we all so much enjoyed. The most memorable to us remain the camping events our families enjoyed together as a CESA group and as family friends. In delivering the sad news of your loss of Judy to our children these great memories returned to our minds and hearts. Those were some great experiences! What fun we had together! We are so saddened by your loss. Sincerely for all the Rogahn Family, Gerald Rogahn

Dearest Judy, You are a woman of true SPIRIT and COURAGE....Small but MIGHTY, A sparkplug, a fighter, a SURVIVOR to the end. I will miss our own little support session, usuallly over a glass of wine at a CESA function, a wedding, or party. SOON, they will wipe out BREAST CANCER and PARKINSONS. IT will be a happy day!

Ted and Family, I just wanted you to know that I am thinking of you and your family. Judy was a special person. I enjoyed playing on her golf team and the good times that we had after golf. It seems like just yesterday that the golf team had dinner with her. We could tell that she wasn''t feeling good but she was such a fighter.. She loved her family dearly and couldn''t say enough about her grandchildren, she was so proud. I know how much she was respected as a teacher and union leader. My husband, John always enjoyed conversing with her and I will not forget how she would talk about my boys when they were in grade school. She was so upbeat and positive about the education of children. I know first hand that this is not an easy time for you and the family, maybe somewhere up there John and Judy will continue to guide and watch over us. Our families including the Dodgeland school family has lost two outstanding loved ones and educators. They will be deeply missed by all....

In the quiet moments, when the hurt is hard to bear, May love become your shelter and may the beauty of precious memories be your comfort. You are held in gentle thought and prayer. Even though you do not know me, I send you my love! Judy was my preschool and early childhood teacher when I was younger. I am now almost 23 and in my years growing up, Judy was a great inspiration in my life. I often visited her during the school year just to see how things were going. She will be greatly missed and is in my heart!
