  • Our condolence goes out to your family. While visiting my mom Joanne Judson at both the Assiniboine Hospital and Valley View they where both room mates when I first meet Kaye. She would talk to you with great enjoyment and the funny side of her. Kaye would ask me how old I thought she was and I told her around 80 years young and she told me she was going to be turning 100 years young and I told her that she was so active for her age. - Posted by: todd judson (joanne judson room mate) on: Feb 01, 2025
