  1. Dear Ray
    So sorry to hear of your loss. Judy was a wonderful Mom! I am sure your whole family is overwhelmed with sadness.
    My thoughts and prayers are with you.
    I am flying in from Florida Saturday morning, and will miss the services.
    Regards,

  2. Jamie, and the rest of the Veselik family,

    It’s been quite a while since I was fortunate enough to spend a fall Saturday in the ND parking lot with your family, but I will always remember your mom watching over the festivities, encouraging anyone passing by to take part. She was incredibly generous and welcoming, and I am very sorry to hear of her passing.

    Prayers.

  3. Keith, so very sorry for your loss. I am lifting you and your entire family up in prayer, though with a heavy heart. No doubt our Lord welcomed your mom into heaven with open and loving arms. Maureen Mahoney Dickinson, Benet ’81

  4. Dr. (Keith) Veselik–
    My Mom and I were so sad to hear of your Mom’s passing. How blessed you were to have her, but she raised an incredible family as well. You know you are very dear to my Mom. You and your entire family will be in our thoughts and our prayers as you endure this time of sorrow.

  5. Dear Veselik Family, I remember Judy’s kindness and generosity of spirit. To me, this lovely woman embodied all that a Christian woman could be. She lived her faith, loving family and friends. I am so sorry for your loss. May God’ s grace sustain and comfort you.

  6. To all the Veseliks: my sympathies and prayers are with you today. Although I’ve officially been away from Benet for 14 years, having left and moved to Minneapolis to get married, I think that virtually every one of the 28 years I spent at the school (not including my four years there as a student) included a Veselik either as a student or an athlete. And every experience was a positive one! Much of that is, of course, attributable to fantastic parenting and parental support. Your bride, your mother, your grandmother, your friend, will truly be missed.
