“I will miss my mother tremendously, but she lived a full life in her 93 years. I have so many wonderful memories that I can draw from when I get sad that she is no longer physically here with us, but I know I will see her again one day,” Mike wrote in a post.
Judy shared on Facebook that her mother, Janet, 85, died just after 1 p.m. after a battle with norovirus and the flu.
