2019 "Shoot for a Cure" news story |
Judi Schmidt TributeJournal entry by Jim Schmidt This is the hardest post I'll ever have to make. Judi passed away early last evening. My Sweetheart, wife, best friend, companion, partner and so much more is no longer suffering and has gone to join our Lord and wait for me. I really can't find the words to describe how blessed I have been to have her in my life every day for 16 years and 19+ years overall. She was always at my side pulling in the same direction. She was a wonderful person in every regard. She touched so many lives and all were blessed by that, especially me. Even through all of this she was an angel. I can't find the words that even come close to adequately relate how much I already do, and will, miss her. I know that those of you who knew her well will too. I take comfort in knowing she is in her heavenly home free of worry, pain and suffering. I'm sure she is in awe of her beautiful and wonderful new surroundings and being in the presence of our Lord and Savior, Jesus. |

A Mom Speaks about CampA Facebook Message (some identifying information is left out): Thank you to the Sioux City Cosmopolitan Club for sponsoring Noah & Emma for camp this year! We love that they can experience camp while having excellent care by the staff at Camp Hertko Hollow. These two support each other in so many ways with T1 & so much more. We know that these two will have an amazing week! Emma was SO excited! She could hardly wait for us to leave so she could begin her fun (no matter how badly this mama wanted to linger) & the great news is Noah will be there to still give her hugs every day. Dan & I will hardly know what to do with ourselves. |
