Lot's of love from Spain, where Judson inspired a 31 year old Spanish non-religious loving mom, to appreciate how beautiful and wonderful her 3 year-old son is, how fortunate she is to have him in her arms (at least to the date) and to live every moment as if it were the last.
You touched my heart, gorgeous kid!
I am so very sorry for your loss. Judson was sure an amazing little boy, one of the smartest I have seen. He is truly a blessing.

Well, i am here to tell you that he was and is here in Moore County, North Carolina and is teaching children that the National Anthem is important to know. i am praying for you

I am so sorry for your loss. I have never cried watching a video as much as I did watching the before and after video of Judson, showing the effects of Krabbe Disease.
He was such a beautiful, intelligent little boy. You must feel truly blessed to have had him as part of your life.
God bless your family. RIP Judson xx

that is really sad and i know god is a miracle worker hes helps us through every bump in the road.I am 12 but i would'nt want anything like that happen to anybody in my family and its hard to get through when someone dies but u just have to pray to god and he will help u through it.i bet judson is looking down on u right now and he is probably so happy that your doing this for him.god has a reason for everything though and sometimes it starts with the weirdest things. so i hope u guys have a great time and ur life and i hope god helps u guys through everything ur dealing with.

Hi,
My names Anghela, i attend Sanford Brown college for Medical Assisting. Watching your sons video on how the effects of Krabbe Disease took his life inspired me on doing a paper on the Disease. I think both Mom and Dad are both very stong indivisuals for sharing your story and actually making the home video so everyone can see how serious this disease is.

I'm a 19 year old female and saw the before and after video of judson a few months ago. I was compelled recently to show the video to my boyfriend. Watching it again, I felt compelled to read more of your little boy's story, as I suffered a very traumatic experience as a child, and in some ways can sympathize with the suffering he endured and how his childhood was cut short. I checked out your site, and I fell in love with Jud. I will pe purchasing the book soon, as I have been very far from God for over a year and I think this may be God reaching out to me.
Thank you for sharing his story. Don't let anything negative people say get to you; you're doing good in this world. It's a shame some can't see that.
Best wishes,
Michelle <3

I can feel a genuine ache in my heart after just coming across one of Judsons videos on youtube. I, as a stranger am completely heart broken so I can't begin to imagine the pain you are and have been going through. I've never been so affected by someone I've never met before in my entire life. Such a clever, gorgeous, talented, adorable, little boy taken away so cruely. You can tell even on his last days he had a happy spark him in him and that amazes me, he is an inspiration and one of a kind. Which can only be down to your parenting. Judson was nothing sort of a gift to the world, you don't need me to tell you that, but just letting you know, it's not just a parental bias opinion as a total stranger I couldn't agree more. I can't thank you enough for having the strength and courage to share Judson's story with the world because he deserves everyone in the universe to see what an amazing little boy he was. It is apparent just through the vidoes the love you as a family shared and I hope you find peace in the knowledge that Judson was the most loved child, and both of you were the most loved parents. That love will live on forever more. From this day forward Judson will forever be in my heart. 'Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. God wanted me now; He set me free.' Goodnight godbless sweet Judson.

i saw the video going around on tumblr.com of mr judson with 34,620 notes on it. I had to watch it, and it broke my heart. i am 16 years old and things like that dont always get to me. i dont know what else really to say but im sure it means something to know people are still about this. when i watched it i was assuming it was recent. and coming on here and seeing november 2007 amazed me. i hope all is well

I just watched Judson's video and I knew it would be hard to watch. I don't know what to say but I wanted to stop by and offer myself. It was painful to watch the video, so I can only imagine what your family goes through. I've lost my father so I can relate somewhat. But my thoughts are with you and I pray for your strength. Aside from the pain, I hope you also take time to indulge in the happiness he brought to your hearts and can also feel that still. I hope he still touches you in that way when you think of him and not only the sadness of being without him. Love!
Posted on: May 26th, 2011, by Alicia Lewis
What a lovely child, thanks for sharing. Im just glad you got to know him even though it was for a short time.

As a mother I know what that true love for a child is! I could not imagine my life without my baby girl! You are strong and blessed people. As I watched that video and saw the sequence of your baby's disease, I couldn't help but to break down in tears. In every shot that I saw any of the parents, you had great smiles on your face. I love the way you helped him through it all. I'm sure as a baby he didn't understand what was happening to him. I commend you both for being GREAT parents! This world needs more people like you!
Never Change

A friend of mine was so touched by Judd's videos and had posted a link to Judd's video(one of many touching videos) onto my Facebook profile.after i had watch the vidoe crying for the happy and sad moments, i showed my boyfriend who also shared my feelings. This was very very inspiring (also a mother of a 1yr old boy)and I decided to research Krabbes disease . your web page is very enlightening ,informative and truly truly heartfelt.im sure Judd knows how much he was loved(and still is) and im also sure as to how much Jesse is loved by everyone (including how much Judd loved and still loves her) all the best wishes and rayers for you. i will keep updated .:)

So smart and so nice and caring its kind of unbelievable to see. For the family, I want yall to know that even thoigh I've never met yall I still feel like I was apart of the family. Yall inspire me sooooooooo much to go out in help people and just to LOVE everyday like theres no tomorrow.

I am a deep christian and believe that God does everything for a reason. WOW I dont know where to even begin, I noticed his story from browsing through an urban webpage called MediaTakeOut. When I saw it on there I clicked it quickly and was blown away with how smart he was on the video. WOW I also cried most at the end of the video. PLEASE contact me and let me know you guys recived this message. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you guys. I was unaware of this disease Krabbes. I was introduced newly through his stroy and now I have and are more knowledgable about the disease. Well its been nice guys and I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH ALSO JUDSON. I am 22 years old and from Ft.

Hi Drake and Christina, I just want to say that my condolences to you. Jud was such a joy to see and learn about. My heart hurts as I write this because he was such a joyful, smart, beautiful, loving child. I ask God how can he take this wonderful creation away, but I know Jud is laughing and singing and talking about trucks right now:)......Before I came across your blog, I had no idea about what Krabbes disease was, I am glad to have received the education on the disease but I hate that I had to see Jud go from a vibrant child to suffering. This makes me reevaluate my life and be thankful because you never know when god will call. I will be sure to share your story on Facebook and anywhere I can, this is truly a great story in the sense that you are letting people know so that they may try to intervene early and look for symptoms to maybe one day help save their child. May God bless you!!!

Jud's story broke my heart. I can't put it into any other words. I came home from a wonderful dinner and was just so happy. I sat down at the computer and Judâ??s story was open. I thought he was the cutest kid. So smart and funny. Krabbes is just horrible. One thing I can say is that it IS apparent that he is loved so much. I canâ??t imagine the way Christina and Drake felt especially in those last months. I am extremely sorry for the loss of Jud. God Bless and Enjoy Jessie she is such a Blessing.

A news link led me to youtube Americas got talent site and then somehow I found myself at Judson singing the national anthem.
What a truely inspiring very special and spirtual little boy who is a blessing, you can see the amazing spirit shine out of him. He is also blessed to have such wonderful parents with such amazing strength and to share his story with those lucky enough to read it.
Sometimes we get caught up in our everyday lives and can feel upset with our children or frustrated at our lifes path. From this moment on I will treasure the good and bad and think of Judson who still kept smiling. And when my little boy and baby boy are old enough I would like to share with them Judson.
Judson has touched my heart, you are an inspiration to all mothers and fathers.
God bless.

Your story has inspired me. I have posted the video on each of my social networking sites.. I tried to follow you on Twitter, but the link didn't work. I shared the video with my close friends, and they have posted it to their Facebook profiles. Thank you for sharing this.. And God bless.

This Story Is Honestly Heart Touching. I Have So Much Respect For You And Your Husband, For Being The Amazing Parents You Were And Still Are. I Will Remember This Story For The Rest Of My Life. I Know That Judson Is Watching Not Only Over Your Family, But All Of Us. I Cant Even Believe How Strong You Were To Wake Up Every Morning And Have A Smile On Your Face For Judson. I Know For A Fact That Judson Is Up With God, Looking Over You And Your Husband And Thanking God, For Giving Him Amazing Parents Like The Two Of You. His Story Will Never Have Me Dried Eyed. My Kids Will Know About Judson And Your Family, And Know How Hard Life Can Be But Living Your Life To Fullest Is All That Really Matters At The End. Today I Can Go To Sleep With Peace In My Soul, And My Prayers For Your Entire Family. Keep Being Strong. One Day Their Will Be A Cure For This Disease, And All The Other Diseases Out Their. My Prayers Go Out To You All, I Shall Pray Every Night And Never Stop Believing That Life Is Hard But Living It Until The End Is Worth It.
Your In My Prayers,

my friend put your youtube video up on facebook, i watched it and cried. i am only 15 and i have realised how lucky and blessed i am to have a happy healthy life. I cant imagine what you all have all been through and my heart goes out too you all all. When i go to school tomorrow, i am going to ask the principle if we can do a fundraiser, and all the money will be going to help people like your son, in hunters help. I am so sorry for your loss, and i really wish that i could've met your son, because his happiness throughout the video, touched me, I'm not even joking. I was touched by it. Stay happy, there are a lot of people around the world, who have watched your video on YouTube, that are always going to be there for you, and i am one of them.

I happened to be scrolling through my blog when i stumbled upon a video documentary which showed Jud before and after being diagnosed. I've never cried the way I just did watching that video a minute ago before. Watching this video only reminds me of my two brothers, ages 2 and 5 and makes me realize how blessed i am to have them safe and healthy. Jud,you are the are the most beautiful and the most brave child I have ever seen. Rest in peace little guy. xoxo

I was Youtubing about a week ago and stumbled upon one of your videos with Jud singing the national anthem (it has a lot of hits!). I thought 'Wow that's an amazingly smart boy!' and seen that you had more videos of him. It was only a matter of minutes before I discovered that he was stricken with a terminal disease, that I had never heard of, and passed away a few years ago. I wept...like a fool. Jud touched my heart.
After seeing all of the videos, I was then prompted to check out your blog and buy not one, but TWO of your books! One for me and one for my mother for her upcoming birthday. Admittedly, I am not a religious person...at least not strictly. My personal history is a long drawn out story to partially explain why. But now days, as I have gotten older, I feel in my heart that there is a higher power...I like to call him GOD. I beleive that GOD sent you a brillant wonderful sweet child to cherish. It was meant to be. He couldn't have asked for better parents, I hope you are proud of yourselves.
My husband and I have shed many tears over not the loss of a child, but the loss of parenthood. We have struggled for over 8 years now to get pregnant. So as I sat and wept over your child I also pondered my own issues. After now reading about 70 or so pages of your book I feel that appreciating life day to day and being thankful for the little things is very important. Thank you for touching my heart...and the hearts of many unspoken friends out there in the world. May your whole family be blessed.

Dear Levasheff Family,
My friend sent me the video of Judson on youtube and i watched it many times, just brings mixed feelings into me. I am very glad he lived a very joyful three years, more than you could give him! He is the cutest boy I've seen and very smart. It would be an honor to meet him.
Hope you guys continue to fight strong.
God Bless (:

My sister showed me the video of your son and I have to say it is one of the most inspirational videos I have watched. To be going from a normal boy that could walk and talk to a boy that couldn't see or hear and still manage a smile on his face every single day is simply amazing. His life story is an inspiration and it teaches people the importance and beauty of life. My condolences goes to you. I just wanted to thank you and let you know that although Judson is no longer living on this earth, he will still remain alive in all of our memories.

But i know Jud is in heaven singing all those songs that he's sang when he was here. maybe he even continues singing that "monster truck" song lol. I hope everything is going good.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I found the videos of judson by accident, but was so intriged. He inspires me, and for that i would like to thank you for sharing the short yet amazing life of your son with us. Please dont take any of the negative critism in. Your family is very strong to have dealt with this and i cant imagine that it really gets much easier, but for your family i will say a prayer. You were given a precious gift....judson's life. To play with him, see his beautiful smile, to hear his laughter and singing, and to hold him in your arms. When ever lifes struggles have me down i will picture his smiling face as inspiration.

I am a 50 yr. old wife and mom just looking at people who thought they could sing The National Athem. Ended up on Judson singing. Way to cute. Then... the other one about his short life. It is now 3:46 a.m. I should be in bed. But I can't stop the crying. I had to call my husband who get off of work about your sons story. He thought something was wrong cause I could hardly speak.
I want to first say thank you for sharing this. Makes my troubles in my life seem small.
In all things God is in control. And that little boy was special.... God bless you and your family,

I just stumbled across this while watching YouTube videos of young children, like Judson, singing our National Anthem!
I will be purchasing his book and hope that it will affect me the way it has affected so many. It is sometimes very hard to see God when your life is falling apart, especially when illness and death are involved, so thank you for sharing your story with everyone!
I hope that you don't plan on taking the sale of the book off the internet anytime soon because I really want to purchase a copy, but do not have the money at this time to do so!
If there is any way you can, and I know that you have to be very busy people, could you notify me if, at any point, the book will be going off sale to the public?
I would really appreciate it!
Thanks and God Bless!

I just read your story. My daughter is now three and a half, an age your boy never lived to; your story makes me feel even more grateful than on a usual day now.
If it weren't for youtube, I never would have even read about you. A few years have past since the video was made, and since your loss -- much time, and yet, for some things, never enough.
I just wanted to wish you all the best, fully aware that no words can lessen your grief.

Thank you for sharing your son...for letting us all see how beautiful life can be, even when it is short!
Having recently lost my mother to MSA and knowing that I will go through the same progressive regression in the future, I was feeling quite sorry for myself when I found one of your video's on Youtube.
Just watching Judson, and seeing his joy as he experienced life makes me appreciate what I have now and makes me want as much as I'm to have.

I just wanted to let the Levasheff family know that I am deeply sorry for their loss and the story of their son Judson is one that should definately be told. I have watched the videos and tributes to him on youtube and it broke my heart but, I also smiled to see just how much love there was in this child and for him. I have also lost a child and know the heartache it carries. May God Bless you all.
this is probably the most important thing I've stumbled upon on the internet

I was searching for a way to contact the
Collin Raye family, when I found your story. I am a gran-gran of an earthly angel named Kinsey Lane. She has type 2 lissencephaly, or smooth brain, a mutation of the 17th chromosone, in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Unlike your precious one, she's never talked, walked or even used her hands. She also has seizures which sometimes last an hour or more. Mr. Ray's song was as if he had written it for our family, as well as his own. Kinsey's prognosis was under two years, but she is almost 14. Praise God! Her Mom is a college softball coach, and while traveling with the team, I wrote a little book for Kinsey. I would love to send your little girl, and Mr. Raye's granddaughter a copy, if you will tell me how to do this. I am also going to look for a copy of your book. Thanks and God bless you all.

Christina,You can feel the strength,love and pain in the words you type but as you say you and your husband are truly aware of the blessing that Judson is! life is a gift no matter how short or long it may be and Judson sure knew what his j...ob was from the day he was born :-) It takes most of us many many years to figure what took Judson a few short months and that is the true love of Jesus and how to impact millions of peoples lives without trying too.This takes the power of heavenly father above and the right set of earthly parents :-) so please rest and know in you hearts that you and your husband did your job right. Hold your heads up high and proud of a job well done! Love Marcia Belle Bucella

My name is Rachel Hirt! I have read your story for the first time today. I feel like I need to write to you and tell you what a great person you are in dealing with this. He was such a beautiful,smart, happy baby. I am so sorry for your familys loss. I also want to say how greatful I am of you sharing your experience with the world. It has HELPED AND ENCOURAGED ME!
I too am dealing with a similar disease with my two year old baby girl. She has Mitochondrial Disease and it ends up shuting all organ systems down. Her little body does not produce enough energy to maintain life. She too has had eating problems her whole life among allot of other things. I have 3 children...a five year old daughter Caylie and twins that are 2 years old. Gavin and Brooklyn are their names! Brooklyn is the one who is sick. This terrible disease could affect all three children and myself.
Anyway, I praise GOD for running into you ! GOD has helped guide me in finding my daughters illness...we have struggled for 2 years. The funny thing is I was getting ready to sit down and start writing a book !
Love to you and your family. Keep me posted....email me if you ever need someone to listen. I will be here ! GOD BLESS

Hello,
I am amazed at the strength of Christina and Derek.. Judzilla is an angel in many ways and despite what he went through he always and a glistening smile upon his face. The Levasheff family will forever remain in my heart and my prayers. I have been doing some personal research about Krabbe disease for quite some time now but there is something about Judson i can't "put down". Maybe Judson's spiritual gift. IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!
Posted on: Jul 20th, 2010, by susan vandenbrink
I will be praying for you Christine with your "hiatus" and soooo look forward to meeting your precious, adorable son Judson in Heaven whenever that time comes.
You and I met at Women's Ministry Breakfast through Rebecca Morris. I was very moved by your testimony of your son's courageous journey through his short though triumphant life.
With love and prayers to you and family,:)

I read your beautiful book while I was on a long plane flight with my son. I just wanted to let you know that in a spider web of facebook links, God directed me to read this book. It all happened very strangely and suddenly. While I was reading it- my heart just went out to you. As I got to the end of the story, in the post loss chapter, I was struck by how you mapped out how God used this whole situation for good.
I have been raised a Christian, and had a really close relationship with Christ as a child. As I got older, it faded in the fog of everyday life. Since reading this book, I have had a strong humble desire to walk more with our AMAZING Lord. Praise God for all His mercy and glory
God Bless your family

I am so sorry for your loss. I can not imagine the loss of a child. Always know Judson is in the arms of our savior Jesus Christ. Judson was such a smart little boy, advanced far beyond his years. I guess it was the gift from God for the years he wouldn't have on this earth. God blessed you if only for a short time of having such a precious child. Live for Christ and know that one day he will be back in your arms again forever in heaven.

your story has touched many lives. thank you for having the courage to put into words what so many families go through but cant seem to get down on paper. you are an encouragement to all.
my son has x-ald, another leukodystrophy. he had a bone marrow transplant 18 months ago but was in the realm of severly advanced at transplant and already mostly blind and used a wheelchair often. there was a decline post transplant and many times i was told to make his final arrangements but i chose instead to listen to the voice of truth in my heart. the voice of God that he had not provided a window out for my son when the door shut and that he had not brought us this far to forsake us now. today my son is regaining his vision, standing on his own with very minimal help, sits up, holds his head up for long periods of time and is eating anything he wants after being told over and over again that he would never be able to do that again. he was deaf but that came back also and in fact is acute now. after a recent seizure episode where he was taken by ambulance to the ER and ICU and suffered a right brain stroke (he had others before and post transplant but this was a different seizure type and stroke and more acute), i removed him from the hospital where they simply refused to do anything but sedate him further and told me every day they just didnt consider him treatable, transplant or no transplant. his pediatrician put him back on some meds they had taken him off of and within 20 minutes he was sitting up laughing and eating and drinking. a few days later the medical staff could not believe the change in him for the better. after the palsy and stroke effects were gone (we worked with him immediately and constantly since we knew what happened before they said anything, and there were no ill effects of the stroke), he has begun to regain some speech sounds and even get stronger in so many ways. mentally he is brilliant and funny and the happiest person i know. i wanted to share this with you and anyone else who is going through the rough waters. dont lose hope. healing comes in all manners of ways, to each uniquely and in Gods timing and perfection. thank you again for sharing your story. http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/jackmccall

Hi
Please accept my sympathey on the death of your most beautiful son.
You know death is something that we can never get accustom to, even though it is something that happens everyday. The reason for that is that we were not made to die. Ecclesiates 3:11 tells us that God has put "eternity in our hearts" (NW)So as humans we all want to live forever and we want the same for our loved ones.
But did you know that a time will come when you can see your beloved son again? Yes! The Bible gives us a wonderful hope to look forward to - John 5:28,29(NW)says that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (Jesus) and come out" Another Scripture at Acts 24:15 says "There is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous" So God has promised that he would bring "Jud" back to life again.
But when he does conditions on earth would not be the same as it is now. For one thing sickness will be eliminated. Isaiah 33:24 says that now one will say "I am Sick" There is so much more I can say on this topic. But rest asure that you can see "Jud" again, its a wonderful hope to look forward to.
Please feel free to contact me at my email address for more information.

Hello,
My neighbor sent me to this link about your son. What a beautiful boy, what a heart-shattering tragedy. I lost my 3-year old son, too -- brain cancer, mercifully just 3 weeks diagnosis to death.
What an unbelievable struggle it continues to be, three years later, to live without someone so beloved. It's definitely dessert-before-dinner at my house since then...
This is the second time, The National Anthem led me to your precious Judson... I spent the whole morning, again, immersed in your joy, in your loss and in your journey in faith. I can barely breathe. How precious you and your husband are to the LORD, that He entrusted you with this very special gift of love. May the Lord continue to comfort you and continue to give you the strength to tell Judson's story. Thank you for sharing your heart.

I have two little boys. I was wailing and tears pouring. I hope your story reaches out to as many people as it can. It shows how God is still with us through our hardships. May God be with you always and bless you. I am so sorry for your loss, but I am proud how many people you touch with your ministry. I am from Union City, TN. I had never heard of this disease. I hope one day that it is curable. God bless you, and you and your family will be in my prayers.

I connected to a video of Judson singing the National Anthem. I was quite taken with him and ended up here at your website, watching and listening and shedding tears, and smiling too. Both of your children are very beautiful in the videos. Judson's story and presence will stay with me. He was an amazing little boy and no doubt a beautiful spirit who remains very near to you all.

Your story brought tears to my eyes! I had never heard of Krabbe before and it made me so sad to see how short little Judsons life was. Jessie's blog made me laugh, she seems like such a sweet and kind little girl. She obviously got that from you!

I have smiled and shed tears whilst learning of Judson's story, I feel utterly privileged to have been able to have seen through the window of yours and Judson's life. He's a remarkable and inspirational little boy, whose vitality and brightness continues to shine beyond the tragedy of his dreadful disease and his passing.
Thank you for sharing your precious son, with the world and may his legacy live on, reminding us all what a wonderful gift everyday is.
Judson was loaned to this world and God needed him back, now he can run, jump and slide in heaven. Smile on Jud!
Thank you for sharing your life. I really enjoyed reading your blog...Your life is blessed :)

What an amazing little boy Jud was! His smile and laughter made me laugh at the same time I was shedding tears for his pain and sadness. I am sure it was so difficult to just have to watch your child go through that, but what amazing parents you were throughout all of it. Jud was just as lucky to have you as his parents as you were to have him in your life. I know that someday you will be with one another again, but I pray that the days in between be filled with happy memories of him.
God Bless Your Family!

You are wonderful parents. You responded in a Christ-like way. I am sure God is very pleased with you. And having this website is spreading the good news! I don't have to say God bless you as He had been with you all this time. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story.

Your story has just melted my heart.Judson stole my heart from the first time I heard his story,like he has many others,there is not a day that goes by that I dont think of him.He was truly a blessing,such a smart lil guy,and so so cute,and such a lil fighter.I cant even imagine the pain Judson and your Family has been through,but keep in mind that you shall be with him again.And that he is in the Heavens in no more pain,and just living it up being a lil boy like he should.A tear comes to my eyes everytime I see a photo of him,or even watch a video of him.Christina and Drake are some of the strongest people I have ever heard of.Still having faith in God,after what all you have been through.I dont know how I could even go on after losing my baby for any reason.He is truly a Angel..

Thank you for sharing him with the rest of the world. He was filled with such charm and charisma. What a tragedy that his little spirit couldn't stay in this world a bit longer...it is certainly less bright without that little smile shining on everyone.

I was searching for a friend on Facebook with the last name of "Judson" and found your site....There are no words to convey the sadness and loss you have had to bear losing such a spirit and a love...I can only imagine your pain. Your faith is truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your treasured little boy with us....Your angel continues to live on in the hearts of those who loved him and those who only just met him through these videos and memorials.
May God bless your family as you grieve and remember Judson, your amazing, beautiful son! Sincerely, Tara H, Colorado Springs

I just wanted to let you know I just saw the video of Judson and cried like a baby. My deepest sympathy to the family. He was a beautiful little boy and so smart, sweet, adorable, kind, a perfect little boy.
We have 3 healthy grandchildren and I know I will be thanking God everyday for this from now on.
God Bless your family.

I came across Jud's videos on youtube when i searched for kids singing. I never thought I'd be affected the way I was when I saw Jud's story. I just keep going back to his videos and watching how happy and smart he was. He is and was a special little boy. It's so sad that he had to go through what he did at such a young life. I am a huge believer that everything happens for a reason. I believe that Jud was here to bring you happiness and to show you what God's love really looks like. I feel so sad for your loss and hope that just by remembering him, your hurt eases each time. Little Jessi was so blessed to have a brother like Jud and to have parents like you. I hope she brings you just as much, if not more, happiness that your little boy did. I hope the cure for this awful, life stealing, disease is found soon. No child or parent or loved one needs to go through what you did. Please know that I will always have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.

I am so sorry for your loss. You truly inspire me and my have renewed my faith. Judson was actually a little angel that you have chosen to share with the world. God bless you and your family. May you gain strength from all who Judson continues to touch through your generosity.

hey i just wanted to tell you that i am so very sorry for your loss. he was a bright child who was very smart for his age. i know he had to of brought joy to your lives because any child is a blessing. but as my dad says. the children aren't ours. god is just letting us borrow them to bring joy to our lives even if it is for a short period of time. i hope something i said will help you in some kind of way. you are all in my thoughts and prayers everyday.

You guys had a very precious little Angel. One day you will be reunited with Judson and what a day that will be. I will definitely be keeping you in my prayers. And even though I didn't know him....I feel like he was very close to my heart. My advice to you is just to stay strong, and know that you will see your beautiful little boy again one day.

Hi Drake,
You were my admissions counselor when I transferred to Biola and were the single most influential factor (other than God) that lead me to choose Biola over Azusa. Thank you for serving God in everything that you do. I met my wife of 7 years at Biola working on a mission trip.
I sent your judson's web-site onto my friends so that they could use it to encourage others with your story.
Sincerely

Posted on: Dec 2nd, 2009, by Jacki Sevy
I have watched Judson's story and it really touched my heart down deep. I raised 5 children and am a grandmother of 15. Judson seems like such a loving and sweet boy, it's like he was an angel from the start that God put in your lives for a short time. You were truly blessed by him. And he was blessed to have you for his Mommy and Daddy. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for sharing Judson with us. Sincerely, Jacki

I only stumbled across this story just 15 minutes ago, and your faith is an inspiration to me. I love your spirit and your gracefulness in your extremely sorrowful situation.
As the father of 3 young boys (7,5,4) I can barely get past the first few sections of your website without weeping...
I cannot imagine the pain, anguish and other feelings you must have had, and continue to have. From the short sections I was able to read, I'd say you are giving lots of other people hope by your faithfulness to God when the temptation would be overwhelming to go in the other direction.
There will come a day when all mourning will be turned to dancing, and Jud will be dancing with you. (Psalm 30: 11)
May God bless you and your family, there is no doubt you will see and hold your baby boy again. When his spirit left your arms he went into the only other arms who could embrace him as good as his mommy
Posted on: Dec 1st, 2009, by Russ Eisenman
Drake,
I will always remember you as the most committed and hardest working players on our basketball team. It doesn't surprise me that you've created one of the most amazing memorials I've ever seen. As a father of three kids and a cancer survivor myself, I always try to enjoy every waking moment I have with my children. You've given me one more reason to give them a kiss on the head and tell them I love them. I wish you and your family only the best as you work through your loss. You are a good man Drake. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.

Oh my god!! I am trying not to cry because you are being strong for judson. Judson was an amazing little boy. I've rarely come across a boy so bright, and respectful as him. I wish krabbes disease did not exist. It took the wrong life. It shouldn't take anyone's life away. I am really, really sorry for your loss and I want you guys to know that I am very interested in studying and finding out about genetic diseases(I'm only 15). It hurts me when a life is taken away too soon. I hate to see or hear about children dieing. In the videos, I could see that Judson was a fighter and he never gave up. I bet his beautiful sister is like that too. You are blessed that she is not affected as well. Overall Christina and drake, you were both very blessed parents with two beautiful angels. Even though one has passed away, we all know that judson is in heaven watching over us and we will never forget him.
Posted on: Nov 23rd, 2009, by Elisa
A bit of heaven came to earth to be with your family for a while--much too short. Judson is a beautiful light in this world and may his memory continue to brighten your lives.

As a neurologist at Montefiore Medical Center of Albert Einstein College of Medicine who lectures on neurodegenerative diseases, I teach about Krabbe disease and related illnesses. Including The Story of Judson, in whole or in part, would add a great deal. The video would be compelling and inspiring to medical students, neurologists, and psychiatrists. Would I be able to have a copy to show? Of course, I would be happy to cover any cost.

I came across your story by chance and was drawn to the name. My future son in laws name is Judson and he goes by Jud. I have not heard of anyone else with that name.
Your son is absolutely the most adorable little guy I have ever seen. I have sat here and read his story and watched his videos----tears flowed freely.
So sorry for your loss. It seems like your little guy made quite an impression in his time in this world.

Dear Christina, Drake and little Jessie,
a long time i thouhgt about what i would write or say if i would ever meet you.I was scared to write something wrong.But i give it try just to let you know what i do think .If you dont like it just delete it.
First there are no words for your loss.Jud is gone.A little bit more every day all the sudden out of nothing.There is a piece missing in the heart.A big black hole every single day.I have never met you or Judson in person.But you are amazing parents.The way you raised Jud.The way you just seemed to make every day special may it be so dark towards the ned.You were always there.Walked that hard way with Jud all the way until it cruely endet.Jud was an amazing Kid.I thing he must have been one of gods angels on earth that had to go back to heaven and its so hard to understand the hwy and never get an answer.Jud is such an inspiration.It makes you reconize how valuable life is.that you should be thankful for every moment and every little thing.and if something dont work like you want it take it with a smile like Jud seemed to do.There is so much i like to say i just dont know if its wrong or if it even matters.But Judson somehow took a piece of our heart.We do think alot about Jud.My son got so many questions about that boy he sees and hears Jud will always be an inspiration.He will always be in our hearts and our prayers.He touched lifes even without knowing.I wish you the best.You can be so proud og Jud.He will always be a little fighter a hero and an inspiration to us.May god bless you and we hope jud sings ,plays and laughs in heaven
Sincerely Nicky and Jonah

I was perusing Youtube.com for my two year old granddaughter who loves to view babies and kids her age singing and dancing (It is one of her favorite pasttimes), when I came across this adorable little boy singing "The National Anthem". I was shocked to see what happened to him after the video. Prompted to learn more..I visited the website posted in Youtube.
After viewing the website, I couldn't do anything but feel a deep sense of remorse. But, then I began to tear up...and cry as if I personally knew this little Angel, and as if this had just happened yesterday day. I didn't know why I began to feel so sad...crying uncontrollably.
And, then I realized that the reason I was crying...is because not only did God send my own little granddaughter down to give me joy...but he allowed me to meet another child...a little boy with the most infectious gift of making others smile, laugh, appreciate life....and get to know him by opening up his heart to all of us via film/ video/ youtube/a website, etc. Your little boy is a true gift from God! His presence has transcened far and beyond than you will ever know. It made a woman in Detroit, MI on a Sunday morning in 2009 at 11:00 a.m. day!
He made me smile, he reminded me about what love is all about...he made me what to learn more about Krabbe....he made me want to give back...he made me want to keep the Levasheff family and other families like you in my prayers...he restored compassion...and all I can ever do...is Thank God, and you two for bringing him into thie world and all of lives by sharing his videos, pictures and singing to us via the world wide web! I shudder to think...had we not had the technology such as the web...I would have not ever met Judson today! I will share his story and beautiful life with others I know.
I instantly fell in love with him...as I am sure everyone who has seen his videos have. Thank you for sharing Judson with us...he was and still is...one of the truest gifts from God! Thank you....the Levasheff family! I would like to notified when his story is published whether it's a movie or book! He was indeed a beautiful child...he certainly brought joy to my heart today!

It's Sunday morning and I am sitting at the computer, checking e-mail and message boards. My sons are playing in the living room and I hear my 6 year old singing,"Alligator (Alligator) Crocodile (Crocodile)..." I stop what I'm doing and try to place the song. I've heard it but I'm not sure where.
JUD! :) It must have been 6 months ago when I played that video of Jud for my kids. I can't believe that the 6yo still remembers it but they are totally incorporating it into the game that they are playing (LEGO figures in peril) Your amazing little boy continues to impact the world in ways big AND small.

I came across your site from Lily's page. I am truly sorry for your loss. Judson was an amazing little boy and I am sure he is very missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful inspiration Judson must have been, and still is, to your family!
Love and hugs,

I learned of Judson after finding his Geocache in Wilson Park. I wanted to express to the family my deepest sympathies for the loss of such a beautiful wonderful child. I will remember his smile forever and I can't wait to meet the little man in Heaven. God Bless all of the Levasheff family!

Thank you for sharing the life of your beautiful little boy with us. I came across your video on youtube while studying lysosomal storage diseases for the USMLE. I will never forget Judson or the horrors of Krabbe's disease. His courage and his love of life (as well as yours) is very clear from what you've shown us. Thank you and god bless you and your family.

I just wanted to tell you what a beautiful site you have here and what a smart little man Judson was! I came across his story as I was watching youtube videos of kids singing (sleepless night!)and I listened to Judson sing the entire national anthem. My heart is especially touched as I am following the story of a good friend's 3 year old son who is battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer. He was diagnosed a year ago and had a relapse immediately following his cancer free screens. Carter is now in his second round of experimental treatment as there is no established treatment for a relapse with his type of cancer. We pray he will win this battle. Just like Judson, Carter has such a great attitude and brings such joy to those who know him. It is amazing what these little guys can handle...and with such grace. God bless you and your family.

What an incredibly bright and beautiful boy Jud was. I can only imagine the depths of your loss.
I found you via Madeline Sporhs mothers blog.
Blessings to you and yours, Amy
Posted on: Aug 3rd, 2009, by Diana Pintar
I am so moved by Jud's sweet spirit... and the evidence of your family's faith. His song at the end of the video clip was an amazing testimony. I look forward to meeting him when I go home (and God alone knows what day that will be) and knowing him forever!
That said, I know your family has been through the fire and as I type, I pray for you all, that you will know God's presence as you continue to learn to live life without Jud...
I also look forward with eager anticipation to hearing that your book is published.
Posted on: Aug 2nd, 2009, by Barbara Choo
Jud was absolutely adorable. I can't even imagine the pain your family must have went through. But I can see that you have remained strong.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May god bless all of you and be with you always.

I just wanted to say that Jud was an amazing little boy and i am so very sorry for your loss. I have never even heard of krabbe disease until i was searching for the national anthem and happen to see Jud on there so i clicked on the page and began to watch,as I'm watching him sing little notes pop up on the screen telling about the disease and i was so touched by this little boy and began to cry so at the end of the video it said to watch the story of Judson click here. I went to the page and watched his story and i learned allot about Krabbe disease. I want to thank the Levasheff family for sharing the story of thier precious little man, God bless you all
Lots of love

Jud is a beautiful little angel that God needed in Heaven. He is waiting for his family to join him one day as we are all born to be together forever per God's wonderful plan. I'm sure he has delighted many viewers in heart and soul. I have always treated life as a "fragile angel's wing" but your videos have given me another look at life -- so short. Judson was born with a golden halo and spiritual wings that were just waiting for him to take flight to the heavenly hosts of angels that were watching over him here on earth. God bless you and your family. Love you Judson and hope to see you one day also.

Your little blessing touched my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss but God needed his angel back. I recently attended the OC fair when this beautiful butterfly caught my eye and the journey of Judson began. Wow what a little light he was. You and your family will forever be in my thoughts I will make sure that Judson's light will continue to shine God bless and keep you and yours always. Athena
Posted on: Jul 29th, 2009, by Tiffany
There are no words really. I am fully sobbing after only minutes of watching your beautiful son. Judson is truly a special little boy that must have had a special job with Our Father. You did an amazing job of creating a memorial for him. Many blessing and comfort to you and your family!
Posted on: Jul 28th, 2009, by Samanta
I've just found about Judson's story yesterday on youtube.I'm 32 years old. I'm a mother of a 20 month old baby boy called Tomás. We're from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Words cannot describe how amazing and strong was your little boy. I'm sure he's absolutely proud of his family, for all that everyone of you did for him. He's truly a blessing to you, who had the joy of having him in your lives, and to us, who didn't know him but who are feeling his fight as an inspiration for our own lives...
You're such a beautiful family! You did a tremendous job at this website...it's really great!
I will tell my family and friends about Judson's life and invite them to meet him here.
God bless you.

Thank you so much for sharing Judson's story, what a remarkable and beautiful boy. I live in Australia and are several months away to becoming a Paramedic. In an assignment that we were recently given, we were asked to talk to the group about a disease that affects the CNS. I was given Parkinson's disease, but after seeing the video link that you had placed on u-tube, have changed my talk to Krabbe's disease. Judson's story has touched my heart and brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing his story. Best wishes to you and your family. Kirstin

Hi,
I found one of Jud's videos on you tube by casualty, the one he sings "star spangled banner". Incredibly cute! By curiosity I clicked on the link to this web site and feel very sad to find out he is gone.
I have cried and cried reading his story. I gotta go for now but I'll come back soon to read more about him.
Meanwhile, stay well and may God bless and confort your hearts always.

I found Jud's video on YouTube as he was singing the National Anthem, and my heart just melted, and as I was reading the pop ups within the video, not only did my heart melt, my heart has started to cry, then of course my eyes started as well.
My heart goes out to your family and everyone elses that have to go through the situations that your family has.
I don't know of anyone around my area that has had anything like this, but I would like to help out any way I can, such as putting on fundraisers, and walks to raise money to help find a cure or prevent others to go through this.
Please email me and let me know.. I want to help out as much as I can.
Thank you, and God Bless!!

Hi: I happened upon your website and was very moved by all of the obvious work you are doing to bring to light Krabbe's Disease. My son, Evan died of Krabbe's Disease in 1986. He died at 22 months. Many will tell you that they can't imagine what you went through. I can. I know that someday we will be reunited with our little angels.
I will keep Judson in my prayers. I will also keep your family in my prayers. We never stop missing our little angels, but the pain does get easier to cope with.
Sincerely,
Irene and Steve Herring

God Bless!

Though I know you have eternal joy in Jesus and the knowledge that he is running, stomping and laughing in the streets of gold...I also know your pain must be more than monumental.

I just met you at the mall today. I just finished reading your story and all of the blogs. All I can say is, what a beautiful family. Your story has touched me so deeply.

Dear Judson
Your mommy, daddy and sister have been doing such a wonderful thing sharing your short life with us. I want to thank you for being such a wonderful and caring little boy. your story so well told and updated by your mum have made rainy days in my life seem not so bad. I feel sad that you only shared your life with them for a short time, but from the little time you had you did BIG things. Your place in heaven is such a special place and I am sure you are the best angel up there. I have sent my angels with special hugs to your parents and sister and they will bring one to you as well.
Your story is sad but so GREAT you have taught me so much and yet we will never meet on this earth.
THANK YOU

Thank you so much for sharing sweet Judson's story with us. I wish that I had kept a journal like you so that we could remember Lucas's every step and words. It saddens me that I didn't so I live vicariously through Judson's story. I have a few video's of Lucas and I am very lucky to still have him here with me. Lucas is 10 years old now and lives with Krabbe'! I have watched your video's so many times. Thank you again for sharing them.
Love to your family,

Hello Levasheff family, i felt compelled to leave a message here after stumbling across a video of your beautiful son singing the national anthem on youtube :) He is most definitely an angel sent down to earth. A child that beautiful and intelligent is truly a gift and i can see by the videos that he spread joy and love to everyone around him.
Viewing your videos and reading your positive loving words has taught me a valuable lesson, that no matter how tragic and upheaving a situation one is put into, there is always something beautiful that came from it. and your son is the most beautiful soul i have ever witnessed.

I came across the video of Jud resiting the National Anthem on you tube and in the corner it said how he died 6 months later and i got goose bumps all over and had to see your site, i just watched the video of him with Jessie and i cried.
you can see he was such a smart kid and he had love for his sister, i cannot see the logic or understanding of something like that happening to such a young and promising life.
ive signed up for the printed copy and i hope many other people see this site so the memory of little Jud is never forgotten.
It is something that will be with me for life and i think it will influence forthcoming decisions in my life.

Hi. I saw your card in a Starbucks this morning. My husband and 21 month old son were in the car waiting for me. As I waited for my coffee I just kept looking at the cute card and the adorable little picture of Judson.... and seeing those dates on the card I knew that this little spirit had passed on.
I'm looking through your site right now and my heart is so heavy. This was one lucky/loved little man. His story has moved me tremendously....

Your story (and Judson's) has really touched my heart in ways that I cannot begin to explain without sobbing over my keyboard. I want you to know that I am yet another person whose heart has been touched by your amazing testimony. I will continue to follow your family and take from your story a deeper love for my daughter as well as a better understanding of the God we serve. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family.

Dear Levasheff Family,
Our mother passed away in her sleep unexpectedly of a brain anurysm on April 4th, 2009, just a few ago. My sister's went to my moms resting place at Fairhaven last Friday and noticed Judson's burial marker, our mom has been buried next to your beloved son. We are so sorry for your loss. I have watched Judson's Video and the way he made all of you laugh reminds me of how a childs laughter and happiness would put a smile on our mom's face. The loss of a loved one who was so close to one's heart is painful but I know Judson and our mother are with God. When we visit our mother at Fairhaven we will make sure to take care of Judson as well. Maybe, one day, we will meet to give your family a hug.
Love,
Elma Rosales and Barcenas Family

Thanks a lot for sharing Jud's story, for sharing the videos and the documentation of this wretched disease, but also above all sharing the power and joy of Jud and your family despite this diagnosis and the progression of disease. I don't know children with Krabbe disesase, but I am working with parents and children with other, different kinds of life-shortend diseases in Germany. And I think that trusting in the child and help that they can live their lifes as children with joy and love until their last day as much as possible is the greatest gift from parents and friends to these children.
So again: thank you a lot for sharing this part of your private life with other parents, professionals and friends!

I don't kow what to say, bacause there are no words.
What a beautiful, wonderful, amazing, silly, awesome, magical little boy your lives were blessed with. Within only moments of watching his videos, he had my heart. 'I am sorry' does not even seem to come close to the right thing to say. Your loss is just too deep for words.
Sending you all prayers of peace. Sending prayers of happiness and light to beautiful Jud.
Best wishes on your book, I know it will help many families.

I seen several videos on youtube about this little boy. I watched them and I fell in love with him. He was so darling and so smart. I will pray for you all daily. I never knew something like that could happen to someone. I know a little girl that just got diagnosed with this disease and she is the same way. She is very smart just like Jud was. Well I just thought I would leave a message on his page. Hope everything is going well for you guys. *Be Strong*

I had no idea that something like this could happen to anyone. I had no understanding of what Krabbe Disease was. Your time with your son was to short but from what I can see he was a very happy and VERY smart Little guy. Iam a 30 yr old mother of 3 children and you have opened my eyes very wide on spending each special moment with my children. THANK YOU

I'm so sorry for your lost...i saw the first video of him singing the national anthem on youtube so i just wanted to say i think your son was a bright little boy and so smart.Also i think he has a very good heart for his family and friends and he has some great humor.
Sincerely,
Evangeline Newcomb

I first got to know about Krabbe disease in my masteral class, a classmate reported about it and showed Jud's video. I cried buckets then and still am crying buckets now. Judson's such a sweet boy. I am really amazed and in a way thankful that your family have such a strong faith and your faith keeps you going. I do hope and pray that much progress will come in finding a cure for Krabbe disease. Hope I can get a Jud shirt all the way here in the Philippines! God bless you Levasheff family! Just keep the faith.
Much love

I saw Judson's story at a Hunters Hope Ball in Rochester, NY on Friday night, it is now Monday afternoon and I have not been able to get the image of your sweet little boy out of my head. He is an inspiration to me, and I imagine, to any one who see's his smile on your home videos. You should feel truly blessed that he was a part of your life, even if it was for a very short time. I can only pray that my future children possess the loving

I was looking through videos on youtube and ran across Judson's Star Spangled Banner. I loved it!!! Seeing him eat and sing at the same time. WOW!! who else do you know that does that? Then at the end, it said he died, so I wondered about his story. I was shocked!! I am sitting here bawling like a baby looking at how happy and vibrant he was. To lose his life at such a young age. Such a beautiful kid. I had a son that had cancer in 1987. It's hard seeing a loved one go through all the pain and suffering that some have to go through. God Bless your family and keep you strong. Love, Rebecca and RIP Judson!!!

Hi Levasheff Family,
One day I was looking up something random on Youtube, and guess what I saw? Jud's Star Spangled Banner!! I made me really happy. I even looked Jud up--and hear I am now. But the I saw Jud had died. I had birst out in tears because he made me cheer up! Something similar happened to my friend, but she had Meningitis. She dies in 5 days. I was sad. Anyway, best blessing for the rest of your life--and one day, you'll see him. He's in a much better plae now, then here and being disabled. Good luck with the rest of your life!

Hello Levasheff family. I just want you to know that I am truly sorry for your loss.. I thought I would share a great story with you... One day I was having a very bad day, so I decided to look up youtube videos to cheer me up, all of a sudden I saw little Jud's star spangled banner come up... when I watched this video I was instantly light hearted again. I have since that dayy showed everyone i know the video of this sweet little boy, way smarter than his years to cheer them up, however when I watched the video today for the first time I noticed that is said little Judson passed away 6 months after that video was taken. I was so deeply saddened, I just cant imagine what a joy and blessing little Jud was for the too short of a time he was in your lives. Your little boy was a blessing to me even through just a youtube video. What an amazing young boy. You guys are comendably strong and I praise you for that.

My 11 year old daughter stumbled across Judson singing the national anthem on you tube and just made me watch it! She said..."he's so cute and it's funny"!
While she had told me a few days prior about this boy singing.. I only caught bits and pieces of her story about a paralyzed, mute, little boy... I was trying to cook dinner, finish homework, and do the day to day chores and didn't really "hear" her.
Today she finally stopped me long enough to listen to this little boy sing...and I have never been so moved in my life. I sat and listened to this sweet little boy sing our national anthem...and I have never felt so patriotic! So..my daughter had my attention and she led me to the "storyofjudson" web site. WOW! I am a nurse and I had never heard of this disease. I had heard of Jim Kelly's son dying of some rare disease, but really didn't stop to find out what it was. I have been so moved by Judson's and Hunter's story that I want to stay up to date with the research of this disease and try to bring awareness to the need of additional newborn screening

I am so sorry for your loss. I have been watching your videos everyday, and i just love this wonderful little boy who was so smart and happy. His wonderful smile is what keeps me wanting to watch his videos everyday. I was so glad that your little girl does not have this horrible disease. I first learned about it from your YouTube story and i did'nt even know it existed. It was heartbreaking to see such a healthy, happy boy deteriote so fast that i cry every time i watch him. May god keep giving you strength. MILLIE

Hi, I'm Jessica an 11 year old girl, I was randomly looking though Youtube video's and saw the video of Judson singing the National Anthem, It was so cute! Then I read about how he died and had Krabbe disease, I feel SOOO bad for you! What a horrible, terrible, loss. When I read about the way Judson died, all the happiness from my heart just, went away, I hate it when someone die's so young, It makes me SO sad! I will tell everyone I know about this boy, I will always remember that little one, and love him like if he was my brother, even if I never meet him. God Bless Judson. And your family.

Words have no meaning for what I wish to convey. Judson is now etched into my mind and is a part of my life from this day to eternity. What a doll! Thank you for sharing this wonderful, brilliant, loving, and happy boy with our family. I'm a mother of seven, the oldest is nearly 21, the youngest is 12. We live with an incurable and progressive disease, but we have been blessed in that it is a slow moving progression. Judson will be the person who reminds me to think before I act, speak, or am negative. Thank you. Best wishes on your book. You can be sure we will purchase a copy and will also review it and share with others. Bless your family. Love, Teraisa

Christina, Drake and Jessie~
I am so blessed to have found this site. Your family is truly amazing and loving. Judson's story has truly blessed me! What a cool and sweet little boy! I had a son named Henry who only lived for one week and even though it was the hardest time in my life, I would not change a thing.(well, except that he could have had a long and happy life...I'm sure you understand what I am saying.) When I was 6mos pregnant, we found out that he had Down's syndrome and it was strongly recomended that I have an abortion. NO WAY! He was my son and I loved him already. Henry never opened his eyes or made a sound but he was here and he was loved.
Your story gives me strength and even though it's been 10 years now since we lost Henry, it still is a sorrow in my heart at times. Your little Judson made me smile and cry and I will never forget you all!
Posted on: Feb 5th, 2009, by Monica
your story made me smile so much seeing that gorgeous little baby boy sing and smile.
i'm not a parent, im just a teen. ut my friend showed me this site and i was watching the video's and i had it in my head "nah, im not going to cry". and once i saw him singing, i started lashing out the tears.
you've heard this probably more than a million times, and i bet mine doens't matter, but im really sorry.
your baby boys up in heaven singing with the angels now.
and looking down on you three to make sure you guys are well and good. he's after all, your little angel.

i am soooo sorry to here about your angel. i dont really know how it feels to have lost your baby but i know it is the most terrible thing that could ever happen. im sure by now you are trying to forget the aweful day of his passing but it is also an unforgetable time. i wish your family the best and i hope that one day you see your baby again and get to hold him in your arms.

I found your story off of facebook, becoming a fan of Jud. The cute face drew me in. I was born on the same day as Jud, so he will be in my memory forever, and Christina we share the same name, and last but not the least(the greatest) is that you are believers in Christ.

hi. i've watched the video of jud from youtube. he's so smart and really have touched my heart. very sweet and clever. what really amazed me was even though he is suffering from a very horrendous disability and incapability, he never ceases to smile. despite of the hardships he is undergoing before, he never stopped smiling. i know he's very safe in god's hands now. i know he's watching over you guys from heaven.
God Bless You, and thank you for sharing Jud's life to us. he's an inspiration.

Hey,
Im nicii! I am so touched with your sons story. I am so sorry that he passed away (R.I.P) God obviously took him from you because he needed a little angel to be by his side.
Although i am really young and haven't experienced someone passing away in my life (apart from a cat or dog :P)
I don't know what it feels like.
So, however you feel,
may God, help you to feel better
and help you to feel like Jud is always next to you
FOREVER.

Dear Christina, thank you for sharing your journey through your article "God's Presence Revealed Through a Blind and Suffering Boy" in the Biola magazine.
I am sorry I did not have the privilege of meeting Judson.
I just wanted to say thanks for sharing. My wife and I have a journey in the loss of our first son Michael John. As you said, "He may not promise to remove our pain, but he does promise to be with us through the valleys."
If this email finds you in the valley or experiencing the joyful presence of God we are pausing to pray for you, Drake and Jessie at this time.

Hi Christina and Drake -
My name is Melissa Stephenson (maiden name Fox) and I was a resident in Alpha while you were a residents directors at Biola. I read your story in the Biola Connections magazine and was so sorry about your loss and the great grief you have experienced. Thank you for your amazing testimony of God's working in you throughout this process! Your faithfulness to believe in His goodness despite your tragic loss is a real encouragement to me and I'm blessed by your faith. This weekend I am running in a half-marathon for my friend whose boys have been struck with a form of muscular dystrophy (http://www.runforoursons.org/) and reading your story makes my run all the more meaningful to me. Thank you and God bless you guys!!!

Hello Levasheff family!
It has been a few months since I left a message in the guestbook. I wanted to share my little sweetheart story with a few of my friends. After watching the clip they too have fallen in love with Judson. I never met Jud but I feel as if he was my little boy from the clips your family has shared with the world. Please do not think I am crazy when I say "I love you Judson!" I will be back to see you again sweetie!

It was heart breaking to read your story of your son Judson, such a sweet little boy. There are days as a mother when my son makes me so upset I foget how lucky I am to have him. My son Gavin was born December 5, 2004 just 19 days before Judson and I can't imagine life with out him. Thank you for sharing your story and opening up my eyes to this awful disease. Keep up the great work and getting others to help you fight this horrid disease.

I stumbled across your site today and spent 2 hours reading and weeping. Your story is told so sincerely, heart-wrenchingly, and yet with such faith. I felt like I needed to write today and say that I am praying for you all -- and then I just read that today would have been Judson's birthday! I'm sure this is a hard day for you and you are leaning on the Lord - know that he is your ever-present help in times of trouble. There is a CD that I wish I could send you; it has served many families who are suffering in our church. It's called "Come Weary Saints" and is produced by Sovereign Grace Ministries... It may help you as you seek to grieve in a God-glorifying way this Christmas and to keep your eyes on our wonderful Savior in the midst of your pain. Thank you for sharing your story, for trusting your Lord, and for being a reminder to all of us that our lives (and those of our children) are but a breath, but there is eternal life waiting for those who trust in Jesus Christ's work on the cross.
Grace and peace to you today, and a merry Christmas!

I never knew your son, but laughed with you while watching his videos. He is an amazing little boy, who will forever be adorable and treasured in God's arms.
I can't understand the pain of losing a child,but knowing your family as have I have in the past, I know that you all believe that there is a purpose in everything God allows to happen.
Just seeing his awesome personality, makes me believe that he is dancing and singing on his birthday with Jesus.
He may even know my dad up there, I would like to think so!

My last message must have been too long since it did not completely appear. So let me finish.
I was going to finish by saying, I was being naive and thoughtless. Your story has opened my eyes in countless ways in giving me appreciation for what I usually take for granted. Thank you.
Posted on: Dec 22nd, 2008, by Cassandra Sanchez
My two boys, 3 and 2 yrs of age love the show Oobie. So we went to youtube to find some footage and found a sweet little girl named Sage singing the Oobie song, my children were amazed to see another child singing "their" song. So then we decided to find other young talented singers and came upon Jud's Star Spangled banner video. He captivated us, then I read he had passed on and my heart broke to think of such a brilliant spirited child passing on before adulthood.
I wept from deep within my belly, in viewing his life's journey. Wanting to reach through the screen to show my love and support, a message to let you know Jud's story has reached another family is the only thing I could muster. My Connor (3) even said that Jud's videos were his new favorite show, Jud captivated my Connor with his infectious laughter. Thank you for sharing your story with the world, my son Connor has a mild disability of Cerebral Palsy that I used to feel so awful about...I was being naive

I'm so sorry about Judson. I was watching him on YouTube singing the national anthem and I was reading some of the comments and a lot of them said "may he rest in piece", and " I visited the website and I was heartbroken." Well I am heartbroken. I bet he was a wonderful child and it shows that you care so much about him. I am only 13 years old and I care so much for all for these things. Trust me, If I didn't care I wouldn't me writing this. But I do care so much. This really made me start crying. After hearing this, this really made me stop and think about what people are going through right now. He really is a good child. May he and your family be blessed and may he rest in piece. Thank you so much.

hi,
what i can say is that it is just plain sad that sickness has to happen to Judson...I can see a bright future for him...
I am not a parent but I can understand the pain of having this to your child.
I am just speechless...but nonetheless, I am happy that you found ways to inspire other people and to me it is really an honor to have seen this...
Take care and God Bless...

I was searching for a certain kid singing a song on google.com when I came across this. It broke my heart. Kids are my life. Although he only lived for a short time, I can tell that Judson enjoyed every minute of his life. I only hope that I can be the parent to my child that you were to Jud. He appears to have been an amazing child.

Hello..
I saw the video of Jud when he was singing on youtube, and therefore I caught sight of this page!
It's a really touching story, I cried a lot I have to tell you, but most amazingly is that he had his wonderful smile all the time, to the end!
They say that when you are in a critic situation, you can do whatever it takes to survive for example when you have broken both your legs but have to run to survive- then you run! and the joy Jud still had, seemed to be his way of surviving I think...
When I had read all of this and watched the videos I can only say that I can now realize that I should not take my family or the one closest to me for granted, appreciate every moment I have here!:)
thank you and have a blessing day!

My family lives around the corner on College Drive from the park you often took Jud to to play. We saw you there a couple of times while Jud was still on this earth. We have watched the memorials go up in the park, from the bench to the tree and so forth. We have witnessed the strength of God in a family that has gone through something all parents never dream of experiencing - the loss of a child. My wife and I have been blessed with 4 beautiful children, including a boy, Tyler, who is about 2 1/2. We were at the park playing today and read the cards hanging on the tree and took one of the cards in the plastic bag. Your testimony of strength and courage is rare, and I'm sure you will be blessed for it. This story has spoken to my heart about not taking my time with my kids for granted. I am learning more and more to cherish each and every moment that I am able to spend with them. Thank you for your testimony. I trust that all others who read it will be impacted as was I. God bless.

Levasheff Family,
I came upon your blog yesterday; through many tears and heart-ache, I began to read Judson's story, and just finished it this morning. Thank you for your willingness to share your heart and story with the world. I can't help of think of Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
You're light is shining brightly and I know that the response it evoked in me, was to praise my Heavenly Father for Judson's life and your example! I can't help but rejoice when I think what God is storing up for you in heaven! Not only will you be face to face with Jesus, not only will you be reunited with your beloved son, but the treasure that awaits you there, because of your faithfulness, I believe will be something to behold!
Although I can not begin to fathom the heart-ache and pain you have experienced in this life, continue to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, as we expectantly wait for His glorious return!
My life and faith has been forever changed by reading Judson's story. I will faithfully begin to lift your family up in prayer as your journey continues. Thank you for the blessing and example you have become to me and others!
In Him,
Erica Schrader

I used to work with Courtney Jones at the Lazy Dog Cafe. I am her friend on myspace and she posted a bulliten about the anniversary of her nephew. I found a link to this page from Courtneys bulliten and I am heart broken after seeing the video's and reading Judsons story. I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry about what has happened to your beautiful son. The videos of Judson made me laugh, he is a cute kid and very intelligent for his age. I hope that you are living well after such heart break. It is a great thing that you have this site, never forget.

Dear Judson's Family,
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss! I really can't imagine what you're going through, but I'd like you to know I am committing to pray for your family (I'm confident God will guide my prayers as I don't know you all personally)!
Today, I mentioned on facebook that I heard the lyrics "someone is praying you through your rain" and it just really hit me how valuable those are who pray for me and my family at various hard times. My comment was "I wonder who I need to be praying through their rain?" and Sarah Cox sent me the link to your website. Sarah is a friend, whom I went to church with when we lived in So Cal. Her brother is also married to my cousin, Chiara Hawley. We moved to Texas this past year.
Is First EV Free your home church? If so, I think it's ironic that I grew up attending there in my elementary school years. Our best friends, Rod

Hello Levasheff Family,
We just wanted you to know that we are thinking and praying for you today as you mark the one year anniversary of Judson's home going. We think of you all the time and enjoy keeping up with you through this amazing web site.
We pray for that perfect peace that transcends our human understanding today and every day as you continue through life anticipating not only our Lord's return but being able to see Judson again. Losing a child makes us truly have that eternal perspective. Would love to chat or see you soon.
Love in Him,
The Taggart Family

I remember the first time I went to Jud's Caringbridge site. I looked at his picture and he captured me heart and soul. As Jud enjoys his new life in heaven, his life here on earth has enriched so may lives and will save lives as he makes a huge impact on the need for Universal Newborn Screening. (http://www.huntershope.org)
Thank you for sharing your most precious "Gift" from God.Judson lives in our hearts forever.
You are in my heart today and always.

Dearest Levasheffs, I enter this day in prayer for you and all who love you. You will be in my prayers throughout this day which marks 1 year without Judson. I love you.
Posted on: Nov 6th, 2008, by Amy Lustig
Dear Christina, Drake and Jessie,
I continue to read your blog posts, to delight in Jessie and to pray alongside you. You wrote today of your inherent desire for Judson's memory to remain alive for others. I hope that you know that Judson has made an INDELIBLE mark on my life and on others -- his warm smile, enthusiasm for life, love of his mommy, daddy and sister, and spiritual fire continue to blaze in my everyday thoughts . . . and I never even met him! Miracles are remembered eternally, and Judson was one such miracle.
May God lift you up tomorrow and every day, and may you know that you are surrounded by love from both friends and strangers alike.
Thinking of you,
Amy (Pennsylvania)

Dear family,
I have just sat and cried through Jud's story. I had to come and send a message to tell you what you already know, such a gorgeous boy and wow so bright, watching those videos made me smile so much, but sob so hard.
My little boy is 3 and he looks very similar to Jud, I don't know how you had the strength to keep going but you did, and you obviously did a good job of keeping him happy.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us and I will be thinking of you all as the 7th of the month approaches.
I wish you all well xx

I dont think I have cried this hard in the longest of times. At 21, I have an 11 month old son. This was the most touching life I have ever happened apon. I called the mother of my child in tears after this telling her how sweet your little boy is. I am back to crying just talking about this. His life was so incredible and meaningful I cant even begin to explain it. I love him and I love you, I know we dont know eachother but I thats how I feel. This little boy was so full of love and joy, he was a blessing. No one will ever forget about him, I know I sure wont. Im at a loss for words. All I can do is sit here cry and feel. He has truely touched me, more than I can ever thank him for.
With love,

what a blessing!!! Thank you for makeing this web sight... i struggle to find the "right" words to say.... I have a little boy also born the same month as Jud in 2004... Collin was born on the 12th and seeing little jud made my jaw drop to the floor... he is such an hansome boy!!! and WOW he amazed me!!! My little guy seems to be quite reserved even now that he is creeping up on 4 he still needs a helping hand to do new things... and little Jud... he already did the big slide!!! it was awesome to see how he drank in life!!! It was also hard to see your little man... we have MANY of the same toys... and clothes... and blankets.... and i see how you both delt with this and how much you leaned on God and loved him though this.... I hope that if i ever were in a situation as hard as yours that i could be half the mom as you are to Jud!!! May God give you his richest blessings!!! It is awesome to see that in such a short life he took risk and already did the big slide :)

What a brilliant and adorable boy!!! Im so touched after reading through this website. I can not stop thinking of the lovely kid all night. His story is really sad, but I can see happiness in his eyes in the pictures and videos. His smile is pure and warm, just like sunlight.Im sorry for your loss, and I think it is a loss for the world. I also want to say to the family: a great family, you let me know what is bravery and hope, thank you!

Your faith is a testimony that God's love endures. He gave you a child even for that little time. Our children are truly gifts, loaned to us, but belonging to the Heavenly Father.
I believe that my son was there to welcome little Judson to a brighter place. He was almost 13, but a freak accident took him suddenly. Our boys just went on ahead of us.
In their stead, we have a deeper understanding of life, and the great promise the Lord holds out for us in eternal life. Your dramatic videos and diary are sure to reach those who have not known God's love. Such a ministry! You are a blessing to many. Thank you for sharing the story of your little Jud, and most of all, sharing your faith through all the pain, suffering, heartbreak, yet ultimate hope and belief in God's love...and victory.
I pray that the heartbreak will ease and that you will find solace in knowing how much impact Judson has had on all of us out here because you shared his story.
Love

Dearest Levasheff Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your little Angel Judson with the rest of the world, he truly is a BEAUTIFUL child, in every aspect of the word. I visit with your son every time I visit my brother Froylan Alcazar who passed away just two months ago.
This website truly is a celebration of Judson's life. It made me cry, laugh, and smile with such sentiment that I can not really explain. I am sure that your pain is never less, but hopefully with time and support your COMFORT grows to bring your entire family serenity. Once again, Thank you!

Christina, I just wanted you to know, I am thinking of you today. You are in my prayers, as you often are.I can remember being so angry with God because I asked Him to heal Kenji and He took him home with Him instead. I never doubted that God would completely heal him here on earth and I don't understand why He didn't. Why did transplant work for some children but not mine? Why were some children healed, who by the way had parents with a lot less faith than I, and my son had to go to his heavenly home? Why is this my story? I miss our sons so much. I have come to know Jud and Jessie thru your entries and I love them like I personally know them, and you, their beautiful mother as well. Along with others, we can pray for better days ahead and await that glorious day when we will see our children again!

I randomly came across Jud's video on youtube.
What a precious boy. He has to be one of the cutest, smartest, sweetest boys ever. Now he is one of God's most precious angels.
I have a 2 1/2 year old son and I do not want to take even one more day for granted with him.
Thank you SO incredibly much for sharing his story. It has affected me deeply.

I really dont know what to say... I came across this website by chance and have been so affected by Jud's story. What a beautiful, lovely little boy. You are clearly a loving family, and it seems that although Jud's time with you was brief, he had the most wonderful life because of you.
Thank you for sharing this story. Your son, and you, are inspirations to us all. God bless you and all the other families who have suffered losses

r videos on facebook and was so sad to learn what happened to your precious son. You seem to be a great family though, with alot of love and faith, and I hope you will have happy moments with your daughter Jessie and many good days despite the terrible loss.
Judson really made an impact on me, and I will never forget about him. I shed many tears tonight, in front of my computer in Norway. I work in a day care with kids age 2, so this really touched me.
I send you a warm hug, you are great parents!

Drake, Christina and Baby girl Jessie,
First and foremost I'de like to thank you for sharing your son's life with the world. I'm sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful and bright boy. Your story touched me like no other. I'm crying as I write this letter and all I can think is that Judson is in our Lord's arms free from that horrible disease. I first seen his beautiful face on Youtube and I linked to his website and I'm so happy I did. Your family will always be in my prayers. I have a 3 year of my own and I look at him and I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. The Lord is watching over you and your family and giving you strength to continue your journey here on earth. Thank you again for sharing his beautiful life with us, I would have loved to have met your son. He will always be thought of on his birthday in heaven because my dughters birthday is also November 7th. A special day indeed. Love ya Judson RIP..Thank you Drake and Christina! Sincerely Yours, Mirella Acevedo 31 Chicago Ill

Thank you for sharing your very special child with all of us out here. Sometimes it is a tragic illness and this incredible loss that makes me think, how can I ever complain about anything!
It was so amazing watching Judson deal with his illness with such a God given sweetness and what amazing verbal skills he had at such a young age.
I don't believe I've ever seen anything as precious as this wonderful little angle.
Thanks again for sharing Judson with us.
God Bless You!

Thank you for sharing your story with us. The world grieves for your son, I grieve for your son. I know that is not what you wish, but we can also pull some of the tremendous faith that you have and hold it dear in our hearts to comfort us. Born on christmas Eve, right before Jesus' birthday, i belive your Judson was put here for a purpose. It must have been in the plans of God for him to bring a message. A special angel as your son belongs in heaven, and God took him back after he had served his purpose. Its amazing the love I feel for your son, from half way around the globe.
He will continue to live in your hearts and the hearts of many others.
Thanks again for sharing you story with us.

Thank you for sharing Jud with the world. I am so sorry for your loss, Jud was a BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, SWEET little boy. He fought so hard to live and I am sooooo sorry that he was taken from you. His eyes and sweet little voice captured my heart. I would have loved to have a son like Jud, so smart and loveable. Watching Jud has given me the strength to fight the illness that I have and not to feel sorry for myself. Once again, thanks for sharing your son with the world.

Hello Drake, Christina and Jessie! My name is Carola Johansson, im 17 years old and I live in Sweden, Gothenburg. I'm sorry for my bad English but I hope you both can read it and maybe I can have a answer back. I would love to here from you, so I hope you can just send me a e-mail or something. It would be a pleasure to here from you! Anyway, here comes the word I wanted to say to you and again - sorry for my English!
Like some others people here around, I stumbled across Judson's video clip on YouTube of him singing the National Anthem and I was curious on what the people said: "may he rest in peace". I went to the site http://www.storyofjudson.com, and read all of the blogs and watched the videos. I was crying, I can't explain what you are going truth but both of you are such a strong person. The part that touched me the most was when Jud was talking with his dad about Job. The part of that conversation that really got me was when Jud said I will love Him (God) and also when Jud kissed Jessie all the time. Oh lord, how cute isn't that?! i had some tears coming down my face when I read that. I had some really tears coming down on my face and I can tell that I maybe cry for 2h, I don't really know what to say. Im chocked and he seems like a very beautiful and very strong and also very cute boy. You both touched my heart, and when I saw the videos - it feels like I was with you all in that momment, sittning beside you both. It amazes me that a child at Jud's age can have more faith than most adults. Anyway, I will be thinking of Jud's family in the coming months and may God keep His hand on Jud's family at all times.
- Jud?! I know you can hear me so I write this for you here and hope I someday I will see you. I didn't really know you but you really, really touched my heart. The way you smile makes me happy and you seems like a very cute boy with such a amazing parents and you also seems extreme lovely. I don't really know what to say but I hope you have a good place up there and sure, we all know that you have a good place up there. I will always thinking about you every day, you touched everybody's heart and I maybe guess that many people are chocked and also thinking of you. You going to be in my heart forever, I maybe don't know you but it feels like I have known you since the day you was born. I hope you are watching me, and take good care of me when I get older and I hope you maybe can see my kids and also watching over them! You are a good boy, Im going to light a candle every day, the day you passed away. Just for you and also for you family! May you rest in peace little boy - I hope we can meet someday and eat some candy or something! You are know a true star and also everybody's little angel! Good bless you and your family! Many hugs from me to you // Carola Johansson, Sweden - Gothenburg ..

I came across Judson's video while randomly browsing through YouTube and looking for baby singers like Connie Talbot and Kaitlyn Maher. I found Jud's video and eagerly watched a very young talented and handsome boy! I read the comments on that YouTube page and was curious on what the people said 'may he rest in peace'.. i went to the storyofjudson.com site and read all of the blogs and watched the videos. so much for that, i would like to tell you, the parents of Jud, that you faced this as God would like you to. This is a very inspiring story on how to face life's God-given trials. Thank you for sharing your story and may you continue to inspire others to surrender everything to God.
To Jud, may you rest in God's peace and watch over your mom, dad, and Jessie.
With kind regards,

My heart goes out to all your family.
RIP little man, sweet dreams. xxxx

I just wanted you to know that I still have the picture of all four of you on my nightstand. It reminds me to pray for you. Thanks for creating this adorable website. I look forward to your Updates and Blogs.
Also, Bumpy is doing "wonderful"! He has truly made the adjustment and is no longer being difficult. I really love him. He still remembers all the tricks you taught him and is a very sweet cat. He's my baby.

Where to I begin? I was showing my 3 year old son videos of children singing the Star Spangled Banner as I came across Judson beautiful video. What a handsome and intelligent little boy! You are both such incredible parents! I am at a loss of words. I am truly saddened by Judson's departure from this earth and feel the pain you must as felt as parents. I can not imagine! You have reminded me to appreciate each day and appreciate my son in a very different way.

Came across your son's video on U-tube. I had to see a two year old sing, my son tries to sing but I have trouble making out his words. I have a son almost two and he was born with leukemia. I worry about my boys all the time, and coming across your story just breaks my heart. Your son was so cute and smart! I try to cherish every single day but the fear of the unknown can sometimes consume me. God bless your family your story and your precious son truly has touched my heart today.

What can I say? The world lost a very special human being. However, Jud's legacy lives on. In his short lifetime, Jud has touched more lives, and showed us more about living in God's love and grace, than people 30x his age! Jud is truly the embodiment of "Blessing!"

I am a Ghanaian student resident in Germany. I chanced on Judson's story and cannot tell you how it will forever affect my life. I have not seen a kid with so much love, laughter and life even at the moment of darkness...he gives true meaning to life...Thanks Judson for sharing your life with the world.

TO JUD...
My dearest Drake, Christina and Jessie,
I was on U-tube and saw your beloved Jud singing. I saw, too, that he had passed away, and wanted to find out why. I went into the site you made for him and read, saw videos, pictures, and all. You have all touched my heart from deep within. I cried a lot, and wondered why? why? why?
You know what I though? Through your little Jud's going to be with Jesus, made me contemplate on my life, as I had felt that nothing is worth to go on living.
I was thinking of commiting suicide, because I lost my mom in Oct. of 2006. She was my back-bone, my friend, my everything. I have autism, and I am a highly functional autistic,but even so, I needed my mom to just be there for me. She had health complications with her heart, had a stroke, and passed away. She was 78. Judson was 28 months only. As I was reading Judson's story, I started comparing your loss to my loss. I mean every one's loss is tragic..but only then, I realized that it is not so tragic as to loose your little 2 year old, compared to my 78 year old mom, who had lived her life to the full. Only then it struck me that I should not commit suicide, as I read that you carried on, went on holiday --a thing that I have put entirely out of my mind, but just stay home all day, and staring into the computer for hours on end, contemplating what will I do next to make my pain go away, and thinking about how to end my life.
Judson's loss made me think different. Judson made me think that there is a reason to live, and to carry on.
Three weeks have passed that I read Judson's story. It is three weeks ago, that I have started going out, into the sun, at the beach, and just starting to live again.
Every time I go take some flowers to my mom, I put, and ALWAYS will put, next to my mom's flowers, a white rose-bud, for your little BIG man Judson, who remained a little rose bud that has flourished in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you JUDSON, for making me want to live again..which reminds me of Jesus, for with His death, He brought life to us, that we may live forever, an everlasting life, and that one day, you Jud, and your family, my mom and dad and I , will all be re-united, and then, I will come looking for you, and tell you what a GREAT little man you have been, because of YOU, through Jesus, I will see Him one day..and in my arms, I will be holding a BIG bunch of White rose buds, to give to you personally..
Thank you Judson, thank you Christina, Drake, and Jessie, for your wonderful boy, who made me see clearly how much I want to live again..
I am praying for you all, and keep on, like I am, even if we are half around the world, it matters not, our hearts and souls have the same feeling for our loss and beloved ones, and we will keep on, until THAT WONDERFUL DAY, when we shall all meet again..
I love you all,
with my warmest hugs, your friend from Athens, Greece,
Mary

HI,
I stumbled across your 'Myspace' while researching 'Louisa Stead' for an upcoming hymn sing that we're going to do at our church near Pittsburgh, PA. When I put Louisa Stead's name in google, your Myspace was one of the hits. When I opened it up, I began reading about your son and was then led to this website.
You and your family have our prayers that Jesus will continue to give you strength and to just wrap His loving arms around you during your times of reflecting on Judson. Judson now knows a joy that we, as believers, can only imagine in this life. But one day, you'll be with him again and know that joy also.
God Bless you;
Paul Hatalsky

I just sat here for 4 hours straight reading Judson's Journey. God Bless your family, and your wonderful church home. Something has suddenly come up to where I can't continue what was on my mind to share with you. I will come back soon to complete my thoughts.

Dear Christina, Drake and little Jessie,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I found Jud's video in youtube and followed the link to this site.
What happened to Jud and your family is really sad, but it should be a bit of a comfort to know that he's a little bright angel now in the arms of God.

Levasheff Family ~
I was reading through the OC Register and became instantly focused on a picture of such a beautiful little face...your Judson's face.
My niece was diagnosed in 1981 with Neroblastoma at 1 yr and went to God just a short 6 mos later ...on an angel's wings. I was drawn to Judson's website because I had to know the little person behind such a beautiful smile. I read and cried, smiled and laughed, read and cried, and smiled and laughed. How could you not laugh with this little comedian. His wisdom was way beyond his years, and Jesus was living in his spirit.
I haven't been so touched by such a young, saintly person since Mattie Stepanek (poet/peacemaker), who suffered with Muscular Dystrophy before Jesus took him.
Mattie's picture is up where I can see it and pray for his family....Judson's picture will now be next to Mattie's. What a beautiful little soul.
Judson truly was, and is a blessing in your life.

Hello, this is Sarah from New Jersey. I am thirteen years old and thanks to Judson, he has given me a pair of glasses to examine the world in a different and more fascinating way. It's remarkable when someone like Judson, can have strong faith in God at a young age. He has taught me to live life the fullest. Thankyou very much for letting me adventure through the heartwarming stories of Judson. I think that sharing it with others is a great way to show your unconditional love for Judson and appreciating God's gift to you. Judson is a handsome,strong,caring,loving...[too many words to describe him] boy. I very much look forward meeting him in God's hands.
God Bless You =]

Dear Christina and Drake,
I found this web site from a Facebook posting and I have spent most of the morning in tears. I can't imagine the loss and pain you feel with each passing day away from your beautiful, gifted, FUNNY and spirited son. In just a couple of hours I have grown to love Jud. I have prayed and will continue to pray for your family as you try to move forward in this life.
My son is 12 months old and I feel Jud's story has served as a reminder to cherish my time with him and not get caught up in the "toddlerisms" that can drive a Mommy straight to the looney bin. I have played harder with him today than any other day as Jud has taught me to appreciate him that much more... and then some.
Your son is a miracle and he is touching the lives of people he never met. He is an inspiration and I will always hold your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your story.
Much love,
Hilary Hale

What an incredibly horrible disease and experience you have endured! We had never heard of this disease. I'm sure God is blessing you for your strong faith and sharing that on this beautifully designed website. God has probably already used you many times to help others going through tragedies with their children---yet you are NOT without hope!! What opportunities for sharing the strength and peace that passes understanding that Jesus gives through the trials of this life.
God bless you, and I (Judy; I think you have met Rob) hope to meet you someday soon.

Dearest Levasheff Family,
What a wonderful, beautiful website in honor of Judson. I have followed his story since your first post on Caring Bridge and will continue. You do not travel this road alone. I too lost a son and know your pain and suffering.
I'd like to share something with you that I wrote for my son and read often and redicate it to Judson also.

Joey,
May Angels rest beside your door
May you hear Their voices sing
May you feel Their loving care for you
May you hear Their peace bells ring
May Angels always care for you
and not let you trip and fall
May They bear you up on Angel's wings
May They keep you standing tall
May They whisper wisdom in your ear
May They touch you when you need
May They remove from you each trace of fear
May They keep you from feeling greed
May They fill you with their presence
May They always stand beside you
and make you ever bold
May They teach you what you need to know
about life here and hereafter
May They fill you always with their love
and give you the gift of peace.
I Love You!
Mom

Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing Judson in person, I feel as though I did from watching his life unfold with the videos and stories you have shared. I also feel as though I have learned a lot from Judson's short, but beautiful life and that I continue to learn from him in his death. Judson should be an inspiration for all!
May God bless you all!

Drake and Christina,
Although I am young (12), I can understand many things. And I can understand how much Judson meant to you two. From watching the videos of him I would be proud to have him as a son. And it showed you really cared for him and was always by his side when he was ill. I pray for your family often.
Lots of love

Drake and Christina,
My brother, Tim and sister in law, Meredith Barr who went to school with you at Biola sent me an urgent prayer email almost exactly one year ago. I have been praying for your family ever since and following Judson's story. You are an amazing testimony of faith and trusting in the Lord even when His ways aren't our desires. You have inspired me as a child of the King and also as a mom. Judson was such a beautiful little boy and I still watch his videos and weep! He reminds me so much of my nephew, Dylan Barr. Dylan is partially deaf and has some other special needs. He is smart as a whip, just like Judson was. Their looks and mannerisms are very similar. Thank you for sharing your grief, your family and especially Judson with us. My kids prayed so diligently for Jud. My 6 year old asked on a daily basis about him. His story has touched us deeply. Love, The Knox Family in Fallbrook, CA

Dear Christina and Drake,
Thank you for sharing your son with us and your journey. We don't know what to say except we think it is so wonderful that you have so many great pictures and videos of his precious life. It's a blessing to see him and your relationship with him. What a sparkle of a smile and endearing in all his ways. We can see and feel your love. We continue to pray for you and your parents. As grandparents, we look at you all and tears run down our faces. Reading alot about God's grace lately, and the old song comes to our hearts, "He giveth more grace..."
Our prayers and love for you all,
By His grace,

Your little boy is adorable. He has to be the cutest boy i have ever seen in my life. My heart goes out to you. After watching all your videos I already feel like I knew him and had a relationship with him. I have watched all the videos over and over again becuase he is so adorable!!! It breaks my heart that God took him. The good news is that you will reunite with him one day, and I can't wait till I can meet him!!!

Thank you for crying out loud. Thank you for hurting publicly. Thank you for questioning it all and allowing me to watch. i still carry Judson's picture with me and keep it as a reminder that "He gives and takes away." You have given me the model of TRUE CHRISTIANITY: Remain faithful through it ALL, even when He takes away.
The Levasheff family are my Chritian hero's. You will be rewarded.
God Bless you guys. I truly look forward to watching Judson wrestle Drake in heaven.

Christina,
I have been reading your blog regularly for about a year. I prayed whole-heartedly for Jud's healing, and now I pray whole-heartedly for you and your sweet family. You are an amazing woman. Your walk through grief is something so real, and I have learned much from you.
I saw that you had linked to my blog in the In Memoriam section, and it took my breath away. I was so emotional when I heard about your little one and wrote that post. Jud is 6 months older than one of mine, and my Cooper shared a lot Jud's 2-year-old passions. It was impossible for me to look at your situation without wondering how it would feel if I were the one that was watching my baby suffer. Because of you - and because of Jud - I love my children better. Thank you for inspiring me.
I love your new blog and am honored that you continue to open up your story and let me walk beside you - if only in prayer. May God bless you and Drake and Jessie with much health and happiness in the years to come.
Love,
Amy

Hi there. I love the website you made for your beloved son. I also have a 3 year old brother. I am 11 years old. God will always watch over him. You have a gaurdian angle watching over you. Don't be sad. Judson would want you to be happy. He would want you to have a fun life and enjoy it. Jesus wanted him early for a reason. Everything has a purpose. You will re-unite with judson soon. And i bet he will be happy to see you. What a pleasure it is to see the short life of a true blessing. What an angle. He's in a better place now. But always remember: he will always be on your shoulder looking after you-just like you did him. god bless you and your family. I hope to meet you one day. :)

We too have an angel in heaven named Andrew who passed away in 2005 from Sanfilippo Syndrome. We feel really blessed that God picked us to raise him even if it was only for 10 years. It is a very difficult path that you have been set on and none of us ever truly understand why we are choosen. This site is beautiful. I am so glad that Marsha e-mailed the link to me. You have all my prayers as you continue on your journey.

Hi,
Lynn and I are enjoying your great work of art. You have done an excellent job.
Judson has been an inspiration to all of us and he has inspired me to move ahead in finding answers to the riddles and problems. We do have our work cut out in getting into a place of "dealing with sickness".
We have a church history and many who walked ahead of us who have made more impact in this area.
I continue to hear about your visit from others in the healing rooms. Know that Judson was loved here.
Continuing in intercession for all of you, even G-Ma

Dear Levasheff Family,
Wow, what an amazing little man Judson was! Thank you so much for letting us have a small glimpse of his sweet life. We know the pain of Krabbe Disease all too well, our daughter Hadley was diagnosed in September 2005. I spoke with you all a few times and have kept you all in my prayers and still do. I have also had the privilege of meeting Judson's grandmother Marsha. What a great lady! You all are such an inspiration to us. Thank you again for showing us Christ!
Much love and Prayers,

Drake and Christy,
What an awesome website you have created in memory of little Judson. I love it! I have continued to read all of your blogs on "myspace" but will come to this site in the future. Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves as well as Judson.
Our pastor made a statement in church yesterday and you both immediatly came to my mind when I heard it. he said...."It does not matter the length in years of ones life but the quality of those years well lived" I am not positive that I am quoting it exactly but I am sure you understand the point. Judson lived his short life "well" and touched alot of people.
Thanks again for creating such a great website.
P.S. Bumpy says hello! He is doing great!

Your email came to me by surprise! I have checked the children's website to keep up with Riley, from Texas that has rare tumor cancer on his left arm and
arm was removed couple months ago. I guess that is
how you got my email, but I have to tell you taht I was SO blessed by your awesome testimonial website
about Judson. It is truly a huge testimony to
everyone that reads it and esp. Judson telling his
dad about JOB!! I will continue to pray for your
family and am sending the website on to many others!
God richly bless you!

I watched some of the memorial service today and prayed for your dear family. What a fitting tribute to Judson - he was certainly a special boy who did more in less than 3 years to live for Jesus than many do in a lifetime. You were right Drake. It's better to ask God for too much than too little. God will bless your faith and make the coming years sweet as you look forward to eternity with your awesome son. Whoever designed your website did a magnificent job. Love you guys.

You don't know me, but I went to high school with Danielle...I knew Lori....and I grew up going to church with Sarah Hegenbart. Through my mom (friends with Lori) and the Hegenbart family, I have followed your difficult journey. I just feel so compelled to write you and let you know how my heart is breaking for you. I wish I knew Jud. He seemed so precious...so joyful...so full of life. And the two of you must be very special parents...you would have to be. God allowed you to be parents to Jud, even if it was for such a short time.
Jud's story will live on forever. Lives will forever be changed, including my own. You have made me realize what I have, what I take for granted, what I need to relish in and embrace each day. Thank you.
Though you will always feel a great loss, I pray that God will heal your hearts quickly..and though there will always be an empty hole in your heart...he will fill you with supernatural comfort that will get you through the difficult times.

Drake and Christina: I know this is a difficult day. The Memoriam and this website are amazing tributes to Jud and to our Lord. Also, it truly shows how to be amazing parents to loving chilldren like Jud and Jesse. It seems so little to say we keep praying and are here for you in any way you need/want, but it's true. I just watched the Memorial Service again and am always sad but hopeful. I see how it's changed Sarah and the love of the mighty little Jud that will always be there. Your love of him and his love for you and others will live forever and touch thousands and millions of lives for Jesus. There will be a throng around him in Heaven to thank him and you for being their ticket to the greatest place for eternity where we will all see him face to face again and also our Lord--sooner than we can imagine.
Love, Gary Hegenbart

My first meeting of Judson was on YOUTUBE, I believe it was...I was so taken by this little boy who was singing The Star Spangled Banner...I didn't realize what his health condition was at the time...I didn't need to know...I just thought his singing was so sweet...and him so darling with those big beautiful brown eyes!!! He reminded me of my great nephew, Ronnie Adkisson. Judson will always be in my memory...God bless you all!

What a fantastic site! Thank you for sharing you life story with all of us. We have been praying for your family for almost a year now and will continue to do so.
I just watched the opening video with my two year old daughter and she loved it as much as I did. She said "funny guy, so special". I could not agree more.

Judson and his loving family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. However, Judson is with God, and aside from you guys, he couldn't be in any better hands. You will be re-united with him again. Only a short duration of time separates you guys from one another. God bless you.
With warm regard, and with you in my prayers,
Aidan

Lot's of love from Spain, where Judson inspired a 31 year old Spanish non-religious loving mom, to appreciate how beautiful and wonderful her 3 year-old son is, how fortunate she is to have him in her arms (at least to the date) and to live every moment as if it were the last.
You touched my heart, gorgeous kid!

I am so very sorry for your loss. Judson was sure an amazing little boy, one of the smartest I have seen. He is truly a blessing.
I am an elementary/middle school Music teacher. I have been playing Jud singing the national anthem this week in honor of Veteran's Day. I am floored to just now read the this amazing child of God has passed. Well, i am here to tell you that he was and is here in Moore County, North Carolina and is teaching children that the National Anthem is important to know. i am praying for you
Words cannot express my sorrow...However, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, as we to currently have an infant with Krabbe Disease, may
I am so sorry for your loss. I have never cried watching a video as much as I did watching the before and after video of Judson, showing the effects of Krabbe Disease.
He was such a beautiful, intelligent little boy. You must feel truly blessed to have had him as part of your life.
God bless your family. RIP Judson xx
Our sympathy goes out to Jud's family. I hope You can recover from this loss and keep Jud in your thoughts for ever.
thank you
it was great seeing joys of jesie and seeing her grow up and everytime i look at her picture she looks more more like jud and he talks like jud too i have to say she is such a sweet little girl and jud and her were so good together they love eacher so very much and im sorry for what happened im sure jud is looking over all of u and watching u guys and was surely a gift from god he was such a smart lil boy and looked liked he was fun to be around he problly made u all laugh everyday and smile. i have a nephew that has cystic fibrosis and i love him so very much hes the best thing ever he even says my name i love it he just makes me smile and laugh everytime i see him. i hope u guys all the best and i hope jessie will make u both proud parents just like judson did he was the most precious lil boy his story makes me cry so does my nephew cuz he has bad lungs and he has tons of medicins i hope everything goes well with u guys and have fun with jessi as she grows up prayers for ur family jill heisler
Hi there Christina
that is really sad and i know god is a miracle worker hes helps us through every bump in the road.I am 12 but i would'nt want anything like that happen to anybody in my family and its hard to get through when someone dies but u just have to pray to god and he will help u through it.i bet judson is looking down on u right now and he is probably so happy that your doing this for him.god has a reason for everything though and sometimes it starts with the weirdest things. so i hope u guys have a great time and ur life and i hope god helps u guys through everything ur dealing with.
Hi,
My names Anghela, i attend Sanford Brown college for Medical Assisting. Watching your sons video on how the effects of Krabbe Disease took his life inspired me on doing a paper on the Disease. I think both Mom and Dad are both very stong indivisuals for sharing your story and actually making the home video so everyone can see how serious this disease is.

I just viewed your website dedicated to your son Judson and I was so moved. I literally fell in love with your beautiful son....an Angel! I am sorry for your loss. Thank you for sharing your story...
I just want to say how you guys are handleing it is remarkable. I mean yall have been through alot. Your family will always be in our prayers. Even though its tough right now you'll get through it just believe that god will help you get through ths and take care of your little boy. Sometimes people call heaven a field of wonders ,happiness and hope.
So always remember your little boy is prancing through a happiness field.
Happy Blessing,
Presley <3
I don't know what to say. I feel very sorry about your loss. I didn't know anything about this terrible disease . I hope Judson is happy now.
I'm a 19 year old female and saw the before and after video of judson a few months ago. I was compelled recently to show the video to my boyfriend. Watching it again, I felt compelled to read more of your little boy's story, as I suffered a very traumatic experience as a child, and in some ways can sympathize with the suffering he endured and how his childhood was cut short. I checked out your site, and I fell in love with Jud. I will pe purchasing the book soon, as I have been very far from God for over a year and I think this may be God reaching out to me.
Thank you for sharing his story. Don't let anything negative people say get to you; you're doing good in this world. It's a shame some can't see that.
Best wishes,
Michelle <3
I first seen this video on Worldstarhiphop.com; im a mother of a 2yr old son
I came across this while searching for the National Anthem to post to fb In honor of the Fourth of July. God Bless your family....Strong, inspiring and in all my years I've never seen such an angelic presence in a child. May his story carry on and his legacy in time be that of a cure.....God love you all!!!
I can feel a genuine ache in my heart after just coming across one of Judsons videos on youtube. I, as a stranger am completely heart broken so I can't begin to imagine the pain you are and have been going through. I've never been so affected by someone I've never met before in my entire life. Such a clever, gorgeous, talented, adorable, little boy taken away so cruely. You can tell even on his last days he had a happy spark him in him and that amazes me, he is an inspiration and one of a kind. Which can only be down to your parenting. Judson was nothing sort of a gift to the world, you don't need me to tell you that, but just letting you know, it's not just a parental bias opinion as a total stranger I couldn't agree more. I can't thank you enough for having the strength and courage to share Judson's story with the world because he deserves everyone in the universe to see what an amazing little boy he was. It is apparent just through the vidoes the love you as a family shared and I hope you find peace in the knowledge that Judson was the most loved child, and both of you were the most loved parents. That love will live on forever more. From this day forward Judson will forever be in my heart. 'Perhaps my time seemed all too brief. Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your hearts and peace to thee. God wanted me now; He set me free.' Goodnight godbless sweet Judson.
i saw the video going around on tumblr.com of mr judson with 34,620 notes on it. I had to watch it, and it broke my heart. i am 16 years old and things like that dont always get to me. i dont know what else really to say but im sure it means something to know people are still about this. when i watched it i was assuming it was recent. and coming on here and seeing november 2007 amazed me. i hope all is well
Wow .. Bless His Soul . ):
He Was So Happy Through It All .. Idk How I Found His Story But I feel Like I Knew Him . He's Beautiful Smile Could Light Up the Room . He Was So Sweet . May He Rest In Peace <3

I cannot stop crying while I watch your son's cute face and smile! My heart goes out to your family.
God Bless and a lot of love from my family to you!
I just watched the before and after and i couldn't stop crying.I am you are so strong for taking a stand and not showing all of your emotion around Judson. i can tell he was probably the happiest child you could have met. Bless you and your Family :)
that story was the saddest ever. it makes me cry.
My daughter, Traci Asher posted your incrediable story on facebook...I must tell you it broke my heart when I viewed the video. Your pain I could feel, your loving words to Judson, made my heart melt and break at the same time. I know it has to be very difficult for you to have to relive this, but thank you for sharing with us. He is truly one of God's gifts. I can not wait to read your book!!!! Your Faith must be tremendous!!!! Once again, Thank You!!! One day, you will ALL be reunited!!!
After running across this story on WSHH.com I clicked the link to this page and it brought tears to my eyes. im so sorry for your lost. JUD was a really smart and beautiful kid. I will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
Your family is absolutely beautiful!! God's arms are around Judson and your family... holding and protecting each and everyone of you. I am blessed to have had the opportunity for you to share your story with me. Love you all!! Muah!!
I ended up crying after I watched Judsons's videos. He's so intelligent, happy, cute and unbelievable kind to his sister! You just have to be so proud of that gorgeous boy, his disease really névér took his smile. Such a wonderful child, it's a big loss.. With love and support from Belgium �
I just watched judson's video on worldstarhiphop.com, and what a beautiful, and intelligent little boy he is. You must be so proud of him! The reason i'm speaking in present tense is because i know he is still with you, as he will always be! What a gift to heaven.. Stay strong and god bless. Thank you for sharing his story it brought me to tears.
words can not express how i feel about what he's went threw... my heart goes out...
I just watched Judson's video and I knew it would be hard to watch. I don't know what to say but I wanted to stop by and offer myself. It was painful to watch the video, so I can only imagine what your family goes through. I've lost my father so I can relate somewhat. But my thoughts are with you and I pray for your strength. Aside from the pain, I hope you also take time to indulge in the happiness he brought to your hearts and can also feel that still. I hope he still touches you in that way when you think of him and not only the sadness of being without him. Love!
What a lovely child, thanks for sharing. Im just glad you got to know him even though it was for a short time.
It hurts so much but I hope that his life brought you endly join if only for a fleeting moment. What a joy!
As a mother I know what that true love for a child is! I could not imagine my life without my baby girl! You are strong and blessed people. As I watched that video and saw the sequence of your baby's disease, I couldn't help but to break down in tears. In every shot that I saw any of the parents, you had great smiles on your face. I love the way you helped him through it all. I'm sure as a baby he didn't understand what was happening to him. I commend you both for being GREAT parents! This world needs more people like you!
Never Change
Franchesca <3
God Bless his soul and God bless you!
A friend of mine was so touched by Judd's videos and had posted a link to Judd's video(one of many touching videos) onto my Facebook profile.after i had watch the vidoe crying for the happy and sad moments, i showed my boyfriend who also shared my feelings. This was very very inspiring (also a mother of a 1yr old boy)and I decided to research Krabbes disease . your web page is very enlightening ,informative and truly truly heartfelt.im sure Judd knows how much he was loved(and still is) and im also sure as to how much Jesse is loved by everyone (including how much Judd loved and still loves her) all the best wishes and rayers for you. i will keep updated .:)

I cannot stop crying while I watch your son's cute face and smile! I am a single mother with a beautiful two year old boy. My heart goes out to your family. God bless you and remember that Jesus will return again and you will see him soon!
God Bless and a lot of love from my family to you!
I know its very hard to loose someone but a child is the worst. dying from a deadly disease has to be heartbreaking and Im only 14 years old and i just wanted to say i cried when i watched the video, even though he wasn't well it never stopped him from being a kid and thats a huge inspiration for me. He has touched me in a loving way and he is always in my thought and he lives in you guys hearts.
Much Love And Happiness,
Ryane :)
So sorry for your loss. What a cutie. Blessings to you and your family.
I fell in love with Judson and his story really touched my heart. I'm trying to quickly brainstorm ways to start awareness but this is definitely not the last you will hear from me. =)
So I sit here and think, what would be the right thing to say to you all. Its kind of hard to even think of anything useful to say knowing what yens had to go through. Well i'll start with Judson, he's so full a life that even after hes gone you just know he's still in are presents today. Voice, it was his voice that mad me tear up. So smart and so nice and caring its kind of unbelievable to see. For the family, I want yall to know that even thoigh I've never met yall I still feel like I was apart of the family. Yall inspire me sooooooooo much to go out in help people and just to LOVE everyday like theres no tomorrow. Im only 17 and after i graduate Im going to become a pediatric nurse to help save childrens life.
I call him "Lil' J." I have been on my computer for the past 8 hours watching your videos on youtube back and forth... it is my first time hearing about Krabbe Disease... wow. I truly appricate the strength you have. you are an inspiration for all of us. Lil' J, you are smart, gifted, loveable, adorable, inspiring, and most of all... you are FUN. fun to be around. fun to watch. fun to entertain. fun to teach. fun to motivate. I will never forget you Lil' J. YOU HAVE PUT ALL THOSE 'FUN' TOGETHER AND THOUGHT ME ALOT. I thank you Lil' J.
I am so sorry for you loss. I found a video online of Jud, and it brought tears to my eyes.
Hi I'm writing you all the way from the UK....I am currently in tears...major tears...I am sooo sorry for the loss of such a beautiful little boy. I have been raised around a lot of kids and I can tell for a fact that he is such a smart little boy. He brought me so much joy just watching him laugh and play....such a beautiful kid. I want to let you know that you are AMAZING people absolutely AMAZING for keeping your faith in God... I can only pray to God that one day I can have that amount of faith as you do. Your son was one of kind and I am telling you this from watching about 10 mins of his life....you were so lucky and blessed to be apart of a Jud's life....he was such a strong fighter. I will keep you in my prayers and I want you to know that our God is not sleeping...He sees this and He is GOING to bless you in ways that you cannot imagine. Continue strong and remember that there are very few individuals walking this planet that are like you xxx
I am so sorry for the lost of your baby, he was such a smart child. In the short minutes of watch the video he made he smile, laugh, and cry so I could just imagine what your family went through in those short years he was here on earth. Just know to never question GOD and just know Judson may not be here in flesh but he is here in spirit. I just want to say stay strong, positive, and inspiring. Also keep God in your heart always may he bless you and your family AMEN.
Judson's story was very heart-felt.
Hello guys, my name is Brittany Simmons, I just want to say that Juson was an amazing little guy and I dont know him personally, BUT I LOVE HIM JUST FROM HIS VIDEOS..Gosh what a wonderful gift from GOD. I am a deep christian and believe that God does everything for a reason. WOW I dont know where to even begin, I noticed his story from browsing through an urban webpage called MediaTakeOut. When I saw it on there I clicked it quickly and was blown away with how smart he was on the video. WOW I also cried most at the end of the video. PLEASE contact me and let me know you guys recived this message. I would greatly appreciate hearing from you guys. I was unaware of this disease Krabbes. I was introduced newly through his stroy and now I have and are more knowledgable about the disease. Well its been nice guys and I LOVE YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH ALSO JUDSON. I am 22 years old and from Ft. Lauderedale Florida. You guys are in my prayers.
Hi Drake and Christina, I just want to say that my condolences to you. Jud was such a joy to see and learn about. My heart hurts as I write this because he was such a joyful, smart, beautiful, loving child. I ask God how can he take this wonderful creation away, but I know Jud is laughing and singing and talking about trucks right now:)......Before I came across your blog, I had no idea about what Krabbes disease was, I am glad to have received the education on the disease but I hate that I had to see Jud go from a vibrant child to suffering. This makes me reevaluate my life and be thankful because you never know when god will call. I will be sure to share your story on Facebook and anywhere I can, this is truly a great story in the sense that you are letting people know so that they may try to intervene early and look for symptoms to maybe one day help save their child. May God bless you!!!
God bless you and your family. Judson seemed like such a joy, and I'm so sorry he had to suffer the way he did. His story has really touched me, and thank you for sharing the story of his life.
Jud's story broke my heart. I can't put it into any other words. I came home from a wonderful dinner and was just so happy. I sat down at the computer and Judâ??s story was open. I thought he was the cutest kid. So smart and funny. Krabbes is just horrible. One thing I can say is that it IS apparent that he is loved so much. I canâ??t imagine the way Christina and Drake felt especially in those last months. I am extremely sorry for the loss of Jud. God Bless and Enjoy Jessie she is such a Blessing.
wow, thats sad, god bless ya"ll family and stay strong
I am so sorry for your loss! Judson's story touch my heart deeply! I have a 14month old daughter and I cannot imagine my life without her. As a mother I feel you rain deeply but what you are doing with your website is keep Judson' s memory alive! God bless you and your family and may God and Judson watch over you always
I am 13 years old and everytime i see a picture or video of "Jud the Stud" i begin to cry because this story just rips my soul ,.. rest in peace to the angel, and god bless to the Levasheff Family.
God bless you guys. I'm 17 and i saw your video on a website and it brought me to absolute tears. He was such a cute child, god bless him. <3
i dont know him buti know he is goin to be there for you â?¥
Oh my gosh I am so sorry for your lost. I saw the video and almost cried. He was such a smart energetic little boy. Like I am so sorry he was so loving. Now he remains in my heart.
God does things we don't understand why, but He has a plan and we just have to trust in Him. Jud inspired me because he never gave up! So when I'm having trouble I will remember Jud!
JUD Rocks! Saw the video and I must say how touched I was. What a smart, dynamic little guy. He is surly missed. He's AWESOME.... Very AWESOME.
As I am sitting on my couch watching the video about your son tears are falling from my eyes. I am truly sorry for your lost. The worst pain any parent can feel is the lost of their child. From watching the video I can see your son was full of joy, love and happiness. He was truly a blessing.
I am so sorry for your loss, I am sitting hear wiping away tears. Rest in peace Judson. We take so many things for granted and never appreciate the blessings that we have in out lived. Good Bless everyone
This is so sad. I'm only 15 and this story is so touching. I will never forget it. I have five younger brothers and I don't know how I could live without them. I am so sorry for loss but you and your family are in my prayers.
Your son's story has really touched my heart!
Judson's story has touched me so deeply...the feelings that I have right now after watching his video of his short life...are very over-whelming. What an inspriation your boy was....and still today. May God pour blessings over your family. Thank you for Judson's site...I will be visiting it often. Sending hugs your way....

Very Touching to read about your precious Judson !!! My thoughts and prayers are with you all in the days to come !! Judson and Jesus are singing together and one day we will all be singing with them !! God's blessing and well wishes to you all in the days to come !!!
What a wonderful, charming, intelligent young boy. I have been reading about your him for over two hours now. He is such an inspiration!!
Your baby boy seemed like an amazing child! im so sorry for your loss. Watching his vidoes made me laugh but made me cry the most. I never seen such an intelligent, happy little boy. You guys are very strong people. May God bless you and your family.
What a blessing and a testimony! Your story has touched my heart beyond measure. Do rest assured that your Jud now rests with G'd and probably tip toes through the clouds and over rainbows with my two little girls that I lost during pregnancy in 2007. Sending love and comfort to you. -courtney
Hello,
I happened across the story of your precious son, Judson a couple of weeks ago and was deeply touched. I am so encouraged by your faith in the Lord especially during a time of devastating loss. Thank you for your beautiful blogs, you are both great writers!

Hi my name is zefira and i just wanted to say judson seemed like a really happy little boy and it brought tears to my eyes watching his story i am really sorry for what happend and to wish you all the best for the future! :)
A news link led me to youtube Americas got talent site and then somehow I found myself at Judson singing the national anthem.
What a truely inspiring very special and spirtual little boy who is a blessing, you can see the amazing spirit shine out of him. He is also blessed to have such wonderful parents with such amazing strength and to share his story with those lucky enough to read it.
Sometimes we get caught up in our everyday lives and can feel upset with our children or frustrated at our lifes path. From this moment on I will treasure the good and bad and think of Judson who still kept smiling. And when my little boy and baby boy are old enough I would like to share with them Judson.
Judson has touched my heart, you are an inspiration to all mothers and fathers.
God bless.

I'd just like to say that your son is truly an inspiration. I rarely see kids as happy as your son was, he had a special glow. I came across a video of him on a site called Tumblr, the post had over 33,000 reblogs.
What an wonderful little boy. The world was blessed with what little time he spent here. Words can't describe how absolutely precious he was. You can't help but fall in love with him while watching the videos. Thank you for sharing your story and allowing so many people to see what an amazing little boy he was. I'm sharing this with all my friends. God bless<3

Bless you in the loss of your precious Judson. We are members of the growing number of parents losing their children. I had my son for 18 years, however. The loss is limitless as you know. Hope you are coping well.
Write me anytime.

my friend put your youtube video up on facebook, i watched it and cried. i am only 15 and i have realised how lucky and blessed i am to have a happy healthy life. I cant imagine what you all have all been through and my heart goes out too you all all. When i go to school tomorrow, i am going to ask the principle if we can do a fundraiser, and all the money will be going to help people like your son, in hunters help. I am so sorry for your loss, and i really wish that i could've met your son, because his happiness throughout the video, touched me, I'm not even joking. I was touched by it. Stay happy, there are a lot of people around the world, who have watched your video on YouTube, that are always going to be there for you, and i am one of them.
I happened to be scrolling through my blog when i stumbled upon a video documentary which showed Jud before and after being diagnosed. I've never cried the way I just did watching that video a minute ago before. Watching this video only reminds me of my two brothers, ages 2 and 5 and makes me realize how blessed i am to have them safe and healthy. Jud,you are the are the most beautiful and the most brave child I have ever seen. Rest in peace little guy. xoxo
hai a fren of mine share the video of ur little Jud.and tears came rolling to see his suffering .. GOD knows whats going to happen. Jud is an amazing boy!GOD love him more. i hope Jud's family will be strong as Jud will be always with u and us in our heart and prayers! hugz from me in Singapore
I was Youtubing about a week ago and stumbled upon one of your videos with Jud singing the national anthem (it has a lot of hits!). I thought 'Wow that's an amazingly smart boy!' and seen that you had more videos of him. It was only a matter of minutes before I discovered that he was stricken with a terminal disease, that I had never heard of, and passed away a few years ago. I wept...like a fool. Jud touched my heart.
After seeing all of the videos, I was then prompted to check out your blog and buy not one, but TWO of your books! One for me and one for my mother for her upcoming birthday. Admittedly, I am not a religious person...at least not strictly. My personal history is a long drawn out story to partially explain why. But now days, as I have gotten older, I feel in my heart that there is a higher power...I like to call him GOD. I beleive that GOD sent you a brillant wonderful sweet child to cherish. It was meant to be. He couldn't have asked for better parents, I hope you are proud of yourselves.
My husband and I have shed many tears over not the loss of a child, but the loss of parenthood. We have struggled for over 8 years now to get pregnant. So as I sat and wept over your child I also pondered my own issues. After now reading about 70 or so pages of your book I feel that appreciating life day to day and being thankful for the little things is very important. Thank you for touching my heart...and the hearts of many unspoken friends out there in the world. May your whole family be blessed.
-Cheryl
I can not even explain how much the video on this site affected me. He was such an amazing little boy. My heart goes out to everyone that knew him.
I have never cried so much you had the most smartest,adorable and looving kid rest in peace judson x
I am a nursing student at St. John Fisher College and a representitive from Hunters Hope came in and spoke about Krabbe and showed us Jud's story.... Words cannot express what I would like to say.... Just know that I will keep your family in my prayers always....
Your son has such a beautiful soul, and seems like a amazing child all together. Gone much too soon but always remembered.
Rest in peace little Judson<3
your family inspired me a lot. Keep trusting the Lord. Never lose faith.
God bless your family my friend sent me the video to my email and i watched it it brought tears to my eyes when i saw the video im sorry for your loss you are in my prayers
Dear Levasheff Family,
My friend sent me the video of Judson on youtube and i watched it many times, just brings mixed feelings into me. I am very glad he lived a very joyful three years, more than you could give him! He is the cutest boy I've seen and very smart. It would be an honor to meet him.
Hope you guys continue to fight strong.
God Bless (:
My sister showed me the video of your son and I have to say it is one of the most inspirational videos I have watched. To be going from a normal boy that could walk and talk to a boy that couldn't see or hear and still manage a smile on his face every single day is simply amazing. His life story is an inspiration and it teaches people the importance and beauty of life. My condolences goes to you. I just wanted to thank you and let you know that although Judson is no longer living on this earth, he will still remain alive in all of our memories.
I saw a video of Judson on tumblr and I would like to offer my condolences. He was a strong, smart, inspiring,adorable little boy and he will be missed.
i would like to say your videos of judson are so emotionally touching and i wanna say i am so sorry for your lose even though this happen a few years back. you have to be one of the strongest parents in the world to have to watch your son go through this all. Its just so heart wrenching to watch it all. God bless your whole family and i know youll see him in heaven one day.
I'm Sorry for the lost of your child. May GOD bless you, and all of your family. :')
I'm sorry for your loss. Your videos brings tears to my eyes. Judson was a very brave and cute young boy. (':
God bless your family. It brings me tears viewing your video, and knowing what you went through. Jud is in a better place. xoxo
when i saw the videos of jud on facebook it brought tears to my eyes. To just imagine that happening. Jud is one of the bravest and strongest boys i have ever seen. God Bless.

I am so sorry for you loss. I found a video online of Jud, and it brought tears to my eyes. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a son. I wish your family all the best. Jud is in a better place now, where he is running around, signing and playing. He's not in anymore pain. God bless.
i stumbled across a video of your son i and i just cried.i could not imagine going through a loss like this.i am terribly sorry.i cried my eyes out and now all i want to do is go wake my son up and give him the biggest hug and thank the lord he is healthy and still with me.thank you for sharing your story.
I'm so sorry for your loss. Judson was a very special little boy, and I bet he's singing praises to God in heaven. He continues to be an inspiration to many.
Love,
Bayley
I saw your video of Judson singing on youtube and then i read the description of it. i was so sad for you guys. I have a 2 yr old son now and i dont know what i would do if i were in your shoes. But i know Jud is in heaven singing all those songs that he's sang when he was here. maybe he even continues singing that "monster truck" song lol. I hope everything is going good.
God Bless
Sara
I am so very sorry for your loss. I found the videos of judson by accident, but was so intriged. He inspires me, and for that i would like to thank you for sharing the short yet amazing life of your son with us. Please dont take any of the negative critism in. Your family is very strong to have dealt with this and i cant imagine that it really gets much easier, but for your family i will say a prayer. You were given a precious gift....judson's life. To play with him, see his beautiful smile, to hear his laughter and singing, and to hold him in your arms. When ever lifes struggles have me down i will picture his smiling face as inspiration.
Hi Christina,
It's been a long time since I have seen you, but I think of you often and I hope you and the family are doing well. Time in this temporal world goes by quickly...
God bless you,
Lisa
I am a 50 yr. old wife and mom just looking at people who thought they could sing The National Athem. Ended up on Judson singing. Way to cute. Then... the other one about his short life. It is now 3:46 a.m. I should be in bed. But I can't stop the crying. I had to call my husband who get off of work about your sons story. He thought something was wrong cause I could hardly speak.
I want to first say thank you for sharing this. Makes my troubles in my life seem small.
In all things God is in control. And that little boy was special.... God bless you and your family,

I just stumbled across this while watching YouTube videos of young children, like Judson, singing our National Anthem!
I will be purchasing his book and hope that it will affect me the way it has affected so many. It is sometimes very hard to see God when your life is falling apart, especially when illness and death are involved, so thank you for sharing your story with everyone!
I hope that you don't plan on taking the sale of the book off the internet anytime soon because I really want to purchase a copy, but do not have the money at this time to do so!
If there is any way you can, and I know that you have to be very busy people, could you notify me if, at any point, the book will be going off sale to the public?
I would really appreciate it!
Thanks and God Bless!
I keep your family in my prayers!!
I just read your story. My daughter is now three and a half, an age your boy never lived to; your story makes me feel even more grateful than on a usual day now.
If it weren't for youtube, I never would have even read about you. A few years have past since the video was made, and since your loss -- much time, and yet, for some things, never enough.
I just wanted to wish you all the best, fully aware that no words can lessen your grief.
What a blessing Judson was to you and the world. May God continue to bless your family as you share this amazing story of God's grace in your lives. What a joy it is in heaven with such a beautiful soul like Judson.
Thank you for sharing your son...for letting us all see how beautiful life can be, even when it is short!
Having recently lost my mother to MSA and knowing that I will go through the same progressive regression in the future, I was feeling quite sorry for myself when I found one of your video's on Youtube.
Just watching Judson, and seeing his joy as he experienced life makes me appreciate what I have now and makes me want as much as I'm to have.

I just wanted to let the Levasheff family know that I am deeply sorry for their loss and the story of their son Judson is one that should definately be told. I have watched the videos and tributes to him on youtube and it broke my heart but, I also smiled to see just how much love there was in this child and for him. I have also lost a child and know the heartache it carries. May God Bless you all.
Your Darling Judsonâ??s Forever In Your Precious Memory
By D.K. Milgrim-Heath©2010
Your Darling Judsonâ??s forever in your precious memory-
By accident discovery I found him singing our National Anthem beautifully.
An internationally known internet poet that I am by this I write-
God sent me today divinely to your glorious sonâ??s memorial site.
Never have a heard a little one sing the America the Beautiful so young-
My soul and heart leaped with joy by what he had sung.
Such a hard song to memorize for anyone to sing for his family-
As a child I had that song as a learning difficulty!
Knowing God gave you Judson to be filled with love-
The Lord knew the hearts and souls of his parents thereof.
By spreading you beloved Judsonâ??s joy to the world-
Explains his life by his oncoming disease that unfurled.
Never have I heard of Judson before today-
Can I can bring more attention to him in some small way?
You were given a most blessed child for definite reasons-
As Judsonâ??s memory blesses the world for all seasons.
this is probably the most important thing I've stumbled upon on the internet
This is such a beautiful website, Judson will forever be in all of our hearts he is truly an angel! Since I have read Judson's story he will always be in my thoughts and in my heart, my heart goes out to all families dealing with this horrible diease, my prayers are with all of you! Thank you for sharing your story, and the wonderful and beautiful memories of your family!
My heart, and all my heart goe's out to the parents of Judson and all the other children like him that have this horrible desease.
David McCully
i was watching the video of judson singing the national anthem on youtube and read what happened and i am so sorry for the loss of your son. i hope you and your family are coping well. i got emotional in the video and it upsets me that these things happen. but he is in mine and everyone elses thoughts and so are you guys.
god bless. xx
I just came across this story today of your lovely family. What wonderful parents you are. Your children are beautiful. Your faith in God is inspiring. You're a blessing to God and to children. Thanks for sharing your story.
Sorry for the lose of your son
I was searching for a way to contact the
Collin Raye family, when I found your story. I am a gran-gran of an earthly angel named Kinsey Lane. She has type 2 lissencephaly, or smooth brain, a mutation of the 17th chromosone, in the 1st trimester of pregnancy. Unlike your precious one, she's never talked, walked or even used her hands. She also has seizures which sometimes last an hour or more. Mr. Ray's song was as if he had written it for our family, as well as his own. Kinsey's prognosis was under two years, but she is almost 14. Praise God! Her Mom is a college softball coach, and while traveling with the team, I wrote a little book for Kinsey. I would love to send your little girl, and Mr. Raye's granddaughter a copy, if you will tell me how to do this. I am also going to look for a copy of your book. Thanks and God bless you all. Diane McGinnis
Thank you for sharing such a Beautiful Blessing!!! I learned of Judson through Savanah. What a Beautiful Boy, and Beautiful Memories!!!
Christina,You can feel the strength,love and pain in the words you type but as you say you and your husband are truly aware of the blessing that Judson is! life is a gift no matter how short or long it may be and Judson sure knew what his j...ob was from the day he was born :-) It takes most of us many many years to figure what took Judson a few short months and that is the true love of Jesus and how to impact millions of peoples lives without trying too.This takes the power of heavenly father above and the right set of earthly parents :-) so please rest and know in you hearts that you and your husband did your job right. Hold your heads up high and proud of a job well done! Love Marcia Belle Bucella
My name is Rachel Hirt! I have read your story for the first time today. I feel like I need to write to you and tell you what a great person you are in dealing with this. He was such a beautiful,smart, happy baby. I am so sorry for your familys loss. I also want to say how greatful I am of you sharing your experience with the world. It has HELPED AND ENCOURAGED ME!
I too am dealing with a similar disease with my two year old baby girl. She has Mitochondrial Disease and it ends up shuting all organ systems down. Her little body does not produce enough energy to maintain life. She too has had eating problems her whole life among allot of other things. I have 3 children...a five year old daughter Caylie and twins that are 2 years old. Gavin and Brooklyn are their names! Brooklyn is the one who is sick. This terrible disease could affect all three children and myself.
Anyway, I praise GOD for running into you ! GOD has helped guide me in finding my daughters illness...we have struggled for 2 years. The funny thing is I was getting ready to sit down and start writing a book !
Love to you and your family. Keep me posted....email me if you ever need someone to listen. I will be here ! GOD BLESS
Hello,
I am amazed at the strength of Christina and Derek.. Judzilla is an angel in many ways and despite what he went through he always and a glistening smile upon his face. The Levasheff family will forever remain in my heart and my prayers. I have been doing some personal research about Krabbe disease for quite some time now but there is something about Judson i can't "put down". Maybe Judson's spiritual gift. IN MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS!!
I will be praying for you Christine with your "hiatus" and soooo look forward to meeting your precious, adorable son Judson in Heaven whenever that time comes.
You and I met at Women's Ministry Breakfast through Rebecca Morris. I was very moved by your testimony of your son's courageous journey through his short though triumphant life.
With love and prayers to you and family,:)
Susan
I read your beautiful book while I was on a long plane flight with my son. I just wanted to let you know that in a spider web of facebook links, God directed me to read this book. It all happened very strangely and suddenly. While I was reading it- my heart just went out to you. As I got to the end of the story, in the post loss chapter, I was struck by how you mapped out how God used this whole situation for good.
I have been raised a Christian, and had a really close relationship with Christ as a child. As I got older, it faded in the fog of everyday life. Since reading this book, I have had a strong humble desire to walk more with our AMAZING Lord. Praise God for all His mercy and glory
God Bless your family
Amy
I just want to say you and your family are so strong. Jud was beautiful. thank you for sharing your story, and may God bless all of you.!! ><>
Thank you for sharing your little man with the world.
I stumbled upon your story in the Biola Magazine. While a student at Biola, I worked with Drake in the Admissions Office. As a mother of two little girls, my heart goes out to you both. Judson was a beautiful and amazing little boy. Thank you for having the courage to share his story.
Please keep me posted on ANY and ALL information about you and Miss Jessie.
I am so sorry for your loss. I can not imagine the loss of a child. Always know Judson is in the arms of our savior Jesus Christ. Judson was such a smart little boy, advanced far beyond his years. I guess it was the gift from God for the years he wouldn't have on this earth. God blessed you if only for a short time of having such a precious child. Live for Christ and know that one day he will be back in your arms again forever in heaven.
I am really sorry about your lost.I know how it fells to loss someone at a young age.He was adorable/cute.I lost a cousion by born asleep.Never got to hold her or see her.I just wanted to say I am really sorry.
your story has touched many lives. thank you for having the courage to put into words what so many families go through but cant seem to get down on paper. you are an encouragement to all.
my son has x-ald, another leukodystrophy. he had a bone marrow transplant 18 months ago but was in the realm of severly advanced at transplant and already mostly blind and used a wheelchair often. there was a decline post transplant and many times i was told to make his final arrangements but i chose instead to listen to the voice of truth in my heart. the voice of God that he had not provided a window out for my son when the door shut and that he had not brought us this far to forsake us now. today my son is regaining his vision, standing on his own with very minimal help, sits up, holds his head up for long periods of time and is eating anything he wants after being told over and over again that he would never be able to do that again. he was deaf but that came back also and in fact is acute now. after a recent seizure episode where he was taken by ambulance to the ER and ICU and suffered a right brain stroke (he had others before and post transplant but this was a different seizure type and stroke and more acute), i removed him from the hospital where they simply refused to do anything but sedate him further and told me every day they just didnt consider him treatable, transplant or no transplant. his pediatrician put him back on some meds they had taken him off of and within 20 minutes he was sitting up laughing and eating and drinking. a few days later the medical staff could not believe the change in him for the better. after the palsy and stroke effects were gone (we worked with him immediately and constantly since we knew what happened before they said anything, and there were no ill effects of the stroke), he has begun to regain some speech sounds and even get stronger in so many ways. mentally he is brilliant and funny and the happiest person i know. i wanted to share this with you and anyone else who is going through the rough waters. dont lose hope. healing comes in all manners of ways, to each uniquely and in Gods timing and perfection. thank you again for sharing your story.

My Heart is Full ... Jud is such a beautiful boy, full of Love and I thank God for your willingness to Share within your Heartache for all eyes to See...
Hi
Please accept my sympathey on the death of your most beautiful son.
You know death is something that we can never get accustom to, even though it is something that happens everyday. The reason for that is that we were not made to die. Ecclesiates 3:11 tells us that God has put "eternity in our hearts" (NW)So as humans we all want to live forever and we want the same for our loved ones.
But did you know that a time will come when you can see your beloved son again? Yes! The Bible gives us a wonderful hope to look forward to - John 5:28,29(NW)says that "all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice (Jesus) and come out" Another Scripture at Acts 24:15 says "There is going to be a resurrection of the righteous and the unrighteous" So God has promised that he would bring "Jud" back to life again.
But when he does conditions on earth would not be the same as it is now. For one thing sickness will be eliminated. Isaiah 33:24 says that now one will say "I am Sick" There is so much more I can say on this topic. But rest asure that you can see "Jud" again, its a wonderful hope to look forward to.
Please feel free to contact me at my email address for more information.
Hello,
My neighbor sent me to this link about your son. What a beautiful boy, what a heart-shattering tragedy. I lost my 3-year old son, too -- brain cancer, mercifully just 3 weeks diagnosis to death.
What an unbelievable struggle it continues to be, three years later, to live without someone so beloved. It's definitely dessert-before-dinner at my house since then...
Wishing you peace,
Noelle (in Tucson)

This is the second time, The National Anthem led me to your precious Judson... I spent the whole morning, again, immersed in your joy, in your loss and in your journey in faith. I can barely breathe. How precious you and your husband are to the LORD, that He entrusted you with this very special gift of love. May the Lord continue to comfort you and continue to give you the strength to tell Judson's story. Thank you for sharing your heart.
I have two little boys. I was wailing and tears pouring. I hope your story reaches out to as many people as it can. It shows how God is still with us through our hardships. May God be with you always and bless you. I am so sorry for your loss, but I am proud how many people you touch with your ministry. I am from Union City, TN. I had never heard of this disease. I hope one day that it is curable. God bless you, and you and your family will be in my prayers.
Amy Pruitt
I'm so sorry for the loss of your precious little boy. From what I've read he was the sweetest little boy and a good big brother to Jessie. Again I'm sorry.
R.I.P Judson!

Christina,Drake,and Jessie Girl:
Thank you for sharing your son and brother: Judson has forever changed my life.
I connected to a video of Judson singing the National Anthem. I was quite taken with him and ended up here at your website, watching and listening and shedding tears, and smiling too. Both of your children are very beautiful in the videos. Judson's story and presence will stay with me. He was an amazing little boy and no doubt a beautiful spirit who remains very near to you all.
Blessings, Karen Sawdey
Your story brought tears to my eyes! I had never heard of Krabbe before and it made me so sad to see how short little Judsons life was. Jessie's blog made me laugh, she seems like such a sweet and kind little girl. She obviously got that from you!
Gods blessings from Germany!
Precious is all I can say....being the mother of five...my oldest is 21....my youngest being 2 1/2... god bless.
I have smiled and shed tears whilst learning of Judson's story, I feel utterly privileged to have been able to have seen through the window of yours and Judson's life. He's a remarkable and inspirational little boy, whose vitality and brightness continues to shine beyond the tragedy of his dreadful disease and his passing.
Thank you for sharing your precious son, with the world and may his legacy live on, reminding us all what a wonderful gift everyday is.
Judson was loaned to this world and God needed him back, now he can run, jump and slide in heaven. Smile on Jud!
I love you so much Juddy xoxoxo
TEARS FELL,AS IM READING JUDSONS STORY.

Thank you for sharing your life. I really enjoyed reading your blog...Your life is blessed :)
so sorry for your loss!
We have thought of your family often, Christina. I remember when our kids played at Wilson Park together...joyous and memorable times. God bless you!!!! (I'm Julie - we drive the golf cart :-))
I am touched by the utter joy in Judson's face that I see in all of his photos. I am sure he is with God, singing for the angels.
What an amazing little boy Jud was! His smile and laughter made me laugh at the same time I was shedding tears for his pain and sadness. I am sure it was so difficult to just have to watch your child go through that, but what amazing parents you were throughout all of it. Jud was just as lucky to have you as his parents as you were to have him in your life. I know that someday you will be with one another again, but I pray that the days in between be filled with happy memories of him.
God Bless Your Family!
You are wonderful parents. You responded in a Christ-like way. I am sure God is very pleased with you. And having this website is spreading the good news! I don't have to say God bless you as He had been with you all this time. Thank you for sharing your wonderful story.
Your story has just melted my heart.Judson stole my heart from the first time I heard his story,like he has many others,there is not a day that goes by that I dont think of him.He was truly a blessing,such a smart lil guy,and so so cute,and such a lil fighter.I cant even imagine the pain Judson and your Family has been through,but keep in mind that you shall be with him again.And that he is in the Heavens in no more pain,and just living it up being a lil boy like he should.A tear comes to my eyes everytime I see a photo of him,or even watch a video of him.Christina and Drake are some of the strongest people I have ever heard of.Still having faith in God,after what all you have been through.I dont know how I could even go on after losing my baby for any reason.He is truly a Angel..
R.I.P.
Jud The Stud. ;-)
Thank you for sharing him with the rest of the world. He was filled with such charm and charisma. What a tragedy that his little spirit couldn't stay in this world a bit longer...it is certainly less bright without that little smile shining on everyone.
Hi, your story inspires me and i have written many sotries about judson and your fight, thak you so muvh for sharing your story with us. God bless you
I have a 28 month boy (my first and only one) and today was a hard day. I was feeling sorry for me,stress out because he didn't sleep a nap and you can just imagine how the day was. God is so big and he just led me to your website to see how much I have to Thank him for. Thank you for sharing your story with us (the world). Thank you for still believe in God. God bless you!!!
wow, this story is really moving. i first seen his video in my biology class. it inspired me to check in now i am fully researching on this disease. i know i am very younge but you have to start some where. you are a very strong family to go through all of that. i wish u well judson, you and your family are in my prayers.
Kayla
I was searching for a friend on Facebook with the last name of "Judson" and found your site....There are no words to convey the sadness and loss you have had to bear losing such a spirit and a love...I can only imagine your pain. Your faith is truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your treasured little boy with us....Your angel continues to live on in the hearts of those who loved him and those who only just met him through these videos and memorials.
May God bless your family as you grieve and remember Judson, your amazing, beautiful son! Sincerely, Tara H, Colorado Springs
I just wanted to let you know I just saw the video of Judson and cried like a baby. My deepest sympathy to the family. He was a beautiful little boy and so smart, sweet, adorable, kind, a perfect little boy.
We have 3 healthy grandchildren and I know I will be thanking God everyday for this from now on.
God Bless your family.

I came across Jud's videos on youtube when i searched for kids singing. I never thought I'd be affected the way I was when I saw Jud's story. I just keep going back to his videos and watching how happy and smart he was. He is and was a special little boy. It's so sad that he had to go through what he did at such a young life. I am a huge believer that everything happens for a reason. I believe that Jud was here to bring you happiness and to show you what God's love really looks like. I feel so sad for your loss and hope that just by remembering him, your hurt eases each time. Little Jessi was so blessed to have a brother like Jud and to have parents like you. I hope she brings you just as much, if not more, happiness that your little boy did. I hope the cure for this awful, life stealing, disease is found soon. No child or parent or loved one needs to go through what you did. Please know that I will always have you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry for your loss. You truly inspire me and my have renewed my faith. Judson was actually a little angel that you have chosen to share with the world. God bless you and your family. May you gain strength from all who Judson continues to touch through your generosity.
hey i just wanted to tell you that i am so very sorry for your loss. he was a bright child who was very smart for his age. i know he had to of brought joy to your lives because any child is a blessing. but as my dad says. the children aren't ours. god is just letting us borrow them to bring joy to our lives even if it is for a short period of time. i hope something i said will help you in some kind of way. you are all in my thoughts and prayers everyday.
I came across the video of Jud singing The National Anthem, on youtube and followed the link to this site. A wonderful insight into the life of what can only be described as strong, wonderful, and blessed parents.
Althogh has been 2 years, I wanted to say I am sorry for your loss, and continue to be strong.
I saw Judson video on youtube it was so adorable I clicked on your site it was amazing and I am deeply sorry for what you and your family been through. I have four children myself and I also want to tell you thank you for the information you posted about Krabbe I never heard of it. You and your family are in my thoughts and prays. God Bless you.
You guys had a very precious little Angel. One day you will be reunited with Judson and what a day that will be. I will definitely be keeping you in my prayers. And even though I didn't know him....I feel like he was very close to my heart. My advice to you is just to stay strong, and know that you will see your beautiful little boy again one day.
happy birthday buddy and merry christmas ive grown to love you and dont evan know ya but u are having a wonderful time up there with jesus and the angels i will meet u one day up there..to christina and drake god bless you guys and hope you have a wonderful christmas what day it will be when we get up there with him....love ya judson
I think that everyone everywhere should give Judson a big hug on christmas eve. He will love that..Join me and do this for our little beautiful angel buddy, Judson. The world loves you.
Hi Drake and Christina,
Thank you so much for sharing about Judson. Praying for you now during this season.
Gary
May the Lord Bless You, and your family. I have been keeping you in my thoughts and in my prayers ever since I learned of Judson. May you find strength and comfort with each other. God Bless You....Thank you for sharing your son Judson with us......
Hi Drake,
You were my admissions counselor when I transferred to Biola and were the single most influential factor (other than God) that lead me to choose Biola over Azusa. Thank you for serving God in everything that you do. I met my wife of 7 years at Biola working on a mission trip.
I sent your judson's web-site onto my friends so that they could use it to encourage others with your story.
Sincerely
Mitchell Baker
I have received my book and am halfway through reading it. Your writing touches me and Judson fills my heart with joy and anguish at the same time. btw...the changes to the website are great...love the updates in Jud's video too.
I have watched Judson's story and it really touched my heart down deep. I raised 5 children and am a grandmother of 15. Judson seems like such a loving and sweet boy, it's like he was an angel from the start that God put in your lives for a short time. You were truly blessed by him. And he was blessed to have you for his Mommy and Daddy. My heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for sharing Judson with us. Sincerely, Jacki
I got my book yesterday can't wait to read it. My Eli has Krabbe and was transplant at Duke June 2007 so if there is anything I can do to help you all please let me know.
All my Love
Suzette Wagner
I only stumbled across this story just 15 minutes ago, and your faith is an inspiration to me. I love your spirit and your gracefulness in your extremely sorrowful situation.
As the father of 3 young boys (7,5,4) I can barely get past the first few sections of your website without weeping...
I cannot imagine the pain, anguish and other feelings you must have had, and continue to have. From the short sections I was able to read, I'd say you are giving lots of other people hope by your faithfulness to God when the temptation would be overwhelming to go in the other direction.
There will come a day when all mourning will be turned to dancing, and Jud will be dancing with you. (Psalm 30: 11)
May God bless you and your family, there is no doubt you will see and hold your baby boy again. When his spirit left your arms he went into the only other arms who could embrace him as good as his mommy
Drake,
I will always remember you as the most committed and hardest working players on our basketball team. It doesn't surprise me that you've created one of the most amazing memorials I've ever seen. As a father of three kids and a cancer survivor myself, I always try to enjoy every waking moment I have with my children. You've given me one more reason to give them a kiss on the head and tell them I love them. I wish you and your family only the best as you work through your loss. You are a good man Drake. If you need anything, please don't hesitate to ask.
Russ
R.I.P. LIL BOY! MAY GOD HOLD YOU FOREVER!!!!!
He was so beautiful and smart. He reminds me so much of my nephew when he was that age. I love you forever, keep on smiling buddy.
Read part of your story what a touching story. And what a wonderful, beautiful little boy. I have a great granddaughter just his age and it really makes a person thank God for blessings.
My thought and prayers will always be with you keep the strength and God will bless you and help you through this tough time.
gosh this just tears me up i get on this site everyday its really may god be with you
Oh my god!! I am trying not to cry because you are being strong for judson. Judson was an amazing little boy. I've rarely come across a boy so bright, and respectful as him. I wish krabbes disease did not exist. It took the wrong life. It shouldn't take anyone's life away. I am really, really sorry for your loss and I want you guys to know that I am very interested in studying and finding out about genetic diseases(I'm only 15). It hurts me when a life is taken away too soon. I hate to see or hear about children dieing. In the videos, I could see that Judson was a fighter and he never gave up. I bet his beautiful sister is like that too. You are blessed that she is not affected as well. Overall Christina and drake, you were both very blessed parents with two beautiful angels. Even though one has passed away, we all know that judson is in heaven watching over us and we will never forget him.
A bit of heaven came to earth to be with your family for a while--much too short. Judson is a beautiful light in this world and may his memory continue to brighten your lives.
Peace in Christ-Elisa, Minnesota
i herd about ur shirts i would love to have one
This is an incredible story and I look forward to the book. I pray that all is well you your family, Christina. May God's grace be with you all.

Judson
Thank you for sharing your sons life story with the world. I cried so much to know that his life was cut so short. He was so loving and full of joy. He was so beautiful and such an angel. It just touched me deeply. Im so sorry for your great loss. Judson will alsways be remembered.
Lisa
Thank you for sharing the life story of your beautiful boy Judson. He truly is beautiful inside out. Sachiyo
I have cried so much and learned so much reading this webpage. Judson seemed to be a really unique, caring, loving, happy boy, and as a mother myself I cannot imagine how you must feel. I just want to let you know that even though we do not know each other, Jud's story has touched my heart. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Love, from Argentina
I feel you pain.It must have been a terrible expierience with all the crying. By the video I can tell you cared and loved for him very much.
Lauren Henderson

I never met you Judson and I don't know you nor your family, but your story hit home and I will always remember you. When I grow up a I want to be a scientist and find cures for diseases like yours. R.I.P. little beautiful baby boy. Your family will always miss you and will never forget you.
I just wanted to stop by and say that i ran across Judsons youtube video of him singing the national antham. It was amazing and it really touched me. I read that he had died and this web paged was linked to the video. I clicked and learned abotu this disease. Judsons story really touched my heart. He was a beautiful gift from God and now hes with the angels. God bless you and the family. I will be praying and tryign to learn more about krabbe disease.
God bless u and ur family. He was such an angel, We don't know why bad things happen to good people. Trust in God that oneday you will be able to hold that special litte boy in your arms again.Judson I never knew but u just brought love in my heart and tears down my face.. God bless u all....Audry Lam
I was visiting your site . I wept while looking at the videos of Judson. He was an adorable little boy. I cannot imagine the pain you have been through. God bless you all.
I'm am sitting here crying for the sweet beautiful happy little boy that didn't get his chance to continue giving kisses to his family. He was going to be something great. What pain you must be feeling. You are all in my prayers.
Im so sorry,but just remember he will always be withyou through bad and good.Hes in a better place!!!
God Bless Jud and his story. May his blessed life continue to bless others.
Judson's story reminds us so much of a loved one we lost just a year ago. Our prayers are with you! Judson was such a bright light!
he and his story life ataict my heart .
As a neurologist at Montefiore Medical Center of Albert Einstein College of Medicine who lectures on neurodegenerative diseases, I teach about Krabbe disease and related illnesses. Including The Story of Judson, in whole or in part, would add a great deal. The video would be compelling and inspiring to medical students, neurologists, and psychiatrists. Would I be able to have a copy to show? Of course, I would be happy to cover any cost.

I feel so so so sooooo bad for your lose. He was a very bright happy little boy. I hate that I have to use past tense.
I found your site by accident and am glad I did. While my loss was the loss of my husband and not a child it has deeply touched me and my youbgest daughter. While she was looking and listening to the stories on here she started crying saying she misses her dad. She was recently diagnosed with cancer but she will be ok. She is not alone. I have been fighting the same disease since I was 13.Thank you so much for putting this together to help other people know they are not suffering alone. You and your family are in my prayers.
Dear Levasheff family,
I happened to see Judson on youtube singing the national anthem. He is such a cute little guy. I'm really sorry for your loss.
Gob bless your family, my prayers are with you!

Hello,
I was just on youtube and i was looking up the national anthem, I am soo sorry to here about your loss. He seems to of been a great child! Those videos made me cry though I do not know you. I wish you all the best and good look.
Rest In Peace Angel

What an absolutely beautiful child. I have watched Judson's video and been amazed at his profoundness. His intelligence, humor, insight and wise words leave those merely viewing his video in awe. I can only imagine your love for him. May the Lord grant you immense grace, peace and strength.
I came across your story by chance and was drawn to the name. My future son in laws name is Judson and he goes by Jud. I have not heard of anyone else with that name.
Your son is absolutely the most adorable little guy I have ever seen. I have sat here and read his story and watched his videos----tears flowed freely.
So sorry for your loss. It seems like your little guy made quite an impression in his time in this world.
I was surfing on youtube and came across this cute little boy singing the national anthem! I'm very glad you added the subtitles telling about your website. Although I cried, a lot, I still enjoyed watching the videos and learning about little Judson.
I'm very sorry for your loss
My heart and prayers are with you and your family.
Rest in Peace Little Prince

I'm so sorry for your loss. I first watch him sing the national anthem on the internet. Such a bright boy. I cried my eyes out for him. I may not know you but your in my prayers. For the lord be with you forever and alway throggh your loss
Dear Christina, Drake and little Jessie,
a long time i thouhgt about what i would write or say if i would ever meet you.I was scared to write something wrong.But i give it try just to let you know what i do think .If you dont like it just delete it.
First there are no words for your loss.Jud is gone.A little bit more every day all the sudden out of nothing.There is a piece missing in the heart.A big black hole every single day.I have never met you or Judson in person.But you are amazing parents.The way you raised Jud.The way you just seemed to make every day special may it be so dark towards the ned.You were always there.Walked that hard way with Jud all the way until it cruely endet.Jud was an amazing Kid.I thing he must have been one of gods angels on earth that had to go back to heaven and its so hard to understand the hwy and never get an answer.Jud is such an inspiration.It makes you reconize how valuable life is.that you should be thankful for every moment and every little thing.and if something dont work like you want it take it with a smile like Jud seemed to do.There is so much i like to say i just dont know if its wrong or if it even matters.But Judson somehow took a piece of our heart.We do think alot about Jud.My son got so many questions about that boy he sees and hears Jud will always be an inspiration.He will always be in our hearts and our prayers.He touched lifes even without knowing.I wish you the best.You can be so proud og Jud.He will always be a little fighter a hero and an inspiration to us.May god bless you and we hope jud sings ,plays and laughs in heaven
Sincerely Nicky and Jonah
cute baby he is so cute i feel very sorry about ya loosing a family members.
I just want to let you know that your son is/was an amazing little boy. So full of energy and love. You look at him and see how everyone should view the world. He is so innocent, sweet, caring, loving, gentle, happy, amazing, outgoing..... The list goes on and on. I look at this site and makes me realize to not take life for granted. I want to thank you for sharing this story of your sons amazing life. Gob bless you and your family. My thoughts and prayers are with you all!
I was perusing Youtube.com for my two year old granddaughter who loves to view babies and kids her age singing and dancing (It is one of her favorite pasttimes), when I came across this adorable little boy singing "The National Anthem". I was shocked to see what happened to him after the video. Prompted to learn more..I visited the website posted in Youtube.
After viewing the website, I couldn't do anything but feel a deep sense of remorse. But, then I began to tear up...and cry as if I personally knew this little Angel, and as if this had just happened yesterday day. I didn't know why I began to feel so sad...crying uncontrollably.
And, then I realized that the reason I was crying...is because not only did God send my own little granddaughter down to give me joy...but he allowed me to meet another child...a little boy with the most infectious gift of making others smile, laugh, appreciate life....and get to know him by opening up his heart to all of us via film/ video/ youtube/a website, etc. Your little boy is a true gift from God! His presence has transcened far and beyond than you will ever know. It made a woman in Detroit, MI on a Sunday morning in 2009 at 11:00 a.m. day!
He made me smile, he reminded me about what love is all about...he made me what to learn more about Krabbe....he made me want to give back...he made me want to keep the Levasheff family and other families like you in my prayers...he restored compassion...and all I can ever do...is Thank God, and you two for bringing him into thie world and all of lives by sharing his videos, pictures and singing to us via the world wide web! I shudder to think...had we not had the technology such as the web...I would have not ever met Judson today! I will share his story and beautiful life with others I know.
I instantly fell in love with him...as I am sure everyone who has seen his videos have. Thank you for sharing Judson with us...he was and still is...one of the truest gifts from God! Thank you....the Levasheff family! I would like to notified when his story is published whether it's a movie or book! He was indeed a beautiful child...he certainly brought joy to my heart today!

I am so sorry for your loss, your son can never be replaced but he certainly brightened up my day with his cheerful voice singing our National Anthem! Thank you so much for sharing your son with all of the world.
God Bless you and your family,

It's Sunday morning and I am sitting at the computer, checking e-mail and message boards. My sons are playing in the living room and I hear my 6 year old singing,"Alligator (Alligator) Crocodile (Crocodile)..." I stop what I'm doing and try to place the song. I've heard it but I'm not sure where.
JUD! :) It must have been 6 months ago when I played that video of Jud for my kids. I can't believe that the 6yo still remembers it but they are totally incorporating it into the game that they are playing (LEGO figures in peril) Your amazing little boy continues to impact the world in ways big AND small.
I can't hardly type because of the tears I shed for this little angel,,, God Bless you Jud and your family. The world is a better place because you were here.
thank you so much for sharing the blessing that was Judson. He was an amazing little boy.
I am speachless from watching the amazing videos of your son and your family..........You're son Judson was and always will be a precious gem from God....
His smile could light up the darkest of spots I'm sure..
His intelligence, his laugh, his smile..all infectious, and I am sure brought on by all the amazing love you showered upon Judson your special little angel..
Thank you so much for sharing his and your lives with us all in these pages..
My respect , my sympathies.. my Prayers , my gratitude I give to you and your husband for sharing this, and for being such amazing strong parents, and showing Judson and Jessie all the love and joy you did in Judsons short life..
You've given such an amazing legacy of rememberance to your daughter Jessie, who was so young still when Judson joined the angels..
AS you have given us the joy of sharing it..
God bless each and every one of your family, and bring all of you peace and joy under Gods and Judsons watch..
Jessie you are a very lucky young lady , to have such strong amazingly loving parents..I know being raised in a house full of love and giving like that you will be just the same and go far in your life..
I came across your site from Lily's page. I am truly sorry for your loss. Judson was an amazing little boy and I am sure he is very missed. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers. What a wonderful inspiration Judson must have been, and still is, to your family!
Love and hugs,

I learned of Judson after finding his Geocache in Wilson Park. I wanted to express to the family my deepest sympathies for the loss of such a beautiful wonderful child. I will remember his smile forever and I can't wait to meet the little man in Heaven. God Bless all of the Levasheff family!
this was my first time seeing this site and i was very touched...it made me cry and relize so many things in life.judson was a very handsome and funny boy...i admire u for being such a strong woman and im sorry for your loss...
always,Lizet
God bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing the life of your beautiful little boy with us. I came across your video on youtube while studying lysosomal storage diseases for the USMLE. I will never forget Judson or the horrors of Krabbe's disease. His courage and his love of life (as well as yours) is very clear from what you've shown us. Thank you and god bless you and your family.
Hi, it's me again.. i was listening to some of my bookmarked songs/videos in youtube and for some reason, i thought of you while listening to this --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhS3HhZaKGk
take care =)
Indeed children are a gift/reward from GOD and we are just a steward.Letting go is hard.Praise Jesus for the strength and joy that He richly bless you.
Thank you for sharing this blessing with us. Judson and the Levasheff family will be in my heart and prayers always. Geetings from Panama, Republic of Panama
im annawright1228 on youtube so we can talk if u want
I am truly sorry for your loos. Its such a tradgedy that the world has lost such a beautiful loving little boy. I know I will never forget him.
i am terribly sorry for your loss. he seemed like he was a vibrant, and joyus blessing to have. may he rest in peace.
THESE VIDEOS TOUCH ME VERY MUCH I STARTED CRYING WHILE LOOKING AT HIS VIDEOS
Thank you for sharing you "blessing" with the world. I will always be here for you and the family.
I just wanted to tell you he was a realy cut lil boy and i am so aorry u lost him he was very smart and adoribal i am so so so so so sorry you lost him but he will always be rememberd<333333
I just wanted to tell you what a beautiful site you have here and what a smart little man Judson was! I came across his story as I was watching youtube videos of kids singing (sleepless night!)and I listened to Judson sing the entire national anthem. My heart is especially touched as I am following the story of a good friend's 3 year old son who is battling a rare and aggressive form of cancer. He was diagnosed a year ago and had a relapse immediately following his cancer free screens. Carter is now in his second round of experimental treatment as there is no established treatment for a relapse with his type of cancer. We pray he will win this battle. Just like Judson, Carter has such a great attitude and brings such joy to those who know him. It is amazing what these little guys can handle...and with such grace. God bless you and your family.

What an incredibly bright and beautiful boy Jud was. I can only imagine the depths of your loss.
I found you via Madeline Sporhs mothers blog.
Blessings to you and yours, Amy
I am so moved by Jud's sweet spirit... and the evidence of your family's faith. His song at the end of the video clip was an amazing testimony. I look forward to meeting him when I go home (and God alone knows what day that will be) and knowing him forever!
That said, I know your family has been through the fire and as I type, I pray for you all, that you will know God's presence as you continue to learn to live life without Jud...
I also look forward with eager anticipation to hearing that your book is published.
Jud was absolutely adorable. I can't even imagine the pain your family must have went through. But I can see that you have remained strong.
I'm so sorry for your loss. May god bless all of you and be with you always.

I can only imagine the greif you both have suffered I am so sorry for your loss and what a loss! His story has touched me like no other and he will remain allways in my thoughts and you the parents as your loss is a loss no mother or father should have to suffer ! xxx
I just wanted to say that Jud was an amazing little boy and i am so very sorry for your loss. I have never even heard of krabbe disease until i was searching for the national anthem and happen to see Jud on there so i clicked on the page and began to watch,as I'm watching him sing little notes pop up on the screen telling about the disease and i was so touched by this little boy and began to cry so at the end of the video it said to watch the story of Judson click here. I went to the page and watched his story and i learned allot about Krabbe disease. I want to thank the Levasheff family for sharing the story of thier precious little man, God bless you all
Lots of love
to your family

Jud is a beautiful little angel that God needed in Heaven. He is waiting for his family to join him one day as we are all born to be together forever per God's wonderful plan. I'm sure he has delighted many viewers in heart and soul. I have always treated life as a "fragile angel's wing" but your videos have given me another look at life -- so short. Judson was born with a golden halo and spiritual wings that were just waiting for him to take flight to the heavenly hosts of angels that were watching over him here on earth. God bless you and your family. Love you Judson and hope to see you one day also.
Your little blessing touched my heart. I'm so sorry for your loss but God needed his angel back. I recently attended the OC fair when this beautiful butterfly caught my eye and the journey of Judson began. Wow what a little light he was. You and your family will forever be in my thoughts I will make sure that Judson's light will continue to shine God bless and keep you and yours always. Athena
There are no words really. I am fully sobbing after only minutes of watching your beautiful son. Judson is truly a special little boy that must have had a special job with Our Father. You did an amazing job of creating a memorial for him. Many blessing and comfort to you and your family!
I've just found about Judson's story yesterday on youtube.I'm 32 years old. I'm a mother of a 20 month old baby boy called Tomás. We're from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Words cannot describe how amazing and strong was your little boy. I'm sure he's absolutely proud of his family, for all that everyone of you did for him. He's truly a blessing to you, who had the joy of having him in your lives, and to us, who didn't know him but who are feeling his fight as an inspiration for our own lives...
You're such a beautiful family! You did a tremendous job at this website...it's really great!
I will tell my family and friends about Judson's life and invite them to meet him here.
God bless you.
Tomy and Sam xxx
i love you
whilst juds story brings me to tears, it also gives me strenth and courage, to get me prepared for whats to come, as my 10 month old baby brother has been diagnosed with leukodystrophy (tests are being done to find out which 1)i found his video on you tube, and think he is such a handsome little man, he is sertanly resting with the angels and wactching over his family, may allah swt give you strengh, like your self i too am thinking Why? i just wish i met your lil lad, and some how helped, when i was little i wanted to be a nurse, n then i wnted to be a teacher, but being in hospitl and not knowing what was happening to rayaan and then finding out, makes me want to be a nurse again, and to also meet auwsome kids like your jud!
thnk you for sharing this with me, in a good way it hits home, so i can plan for what the future brings and to make evry second unregretable with my bby bro
all my love to jud R.I.P honey, yourself and your family Xxx kharen
Thank you so much for sharing Judson's story, what a remarkable and beautiful boy. I live in Australia and are several months away to becoming a Paramedic. In an assignment that we were recently given, we were asked to talk to the group about a disease that affects the CNS. I was given Parkinson's disease, but after seeing the video link that you had placed on u-tube, have changed my talk to Krabbe's disease. Judson's story has touched my heart and brought me to tears. Thank you so much for sharing his story. Best wishes to you and your family. Kirstin
I am so dearly sorry about your son.

Hello. we hope that you are all well,and that Jessie is growing up big and strong..

While Jud's story brings me to tears, it brings me closer to God knowing that he rests with Jesus and the almightly Lord above. Your strength and courage are inspirational. Jud is a beautiful boy. We were blessed to have him on earth with us. Thank you for sharing his story. God Bless you all.
Hi,
I found one of Jud's videos on you tube by casualty, the one he sings "star spangled banner". Incredibly cute! By curiosity I clicked on the link to this web site and feel very sad to find out he is gone.
I have cried and cried reading his story. I gotta go for now but I'll come back soon to read more about him.
Meanwhile, stay well and may God bless and confort your hearts always.
Liz
I found Jud's video on YouTube as he was singing the National Anthem, and my heart just melted, and as I was reading the pop ups within the video, not only did my heart melt, my heart has started to cry, then of course my eyes started as well.
My heart goes out to your family and everyone elses that have to go through the situations that your family has.
I don't know of anyone around my area that has had anything like this, but I would like to help out any way I can, such as putting on fundraisers, and walks to raise money to help find a cure or prevent others to go through this.
Please email me and let me know.. I want to help out as much as I can.
Thank you, and God Bless!!

What a touching story of little Jud. We watched this video today with some of my adult children all who have some sort of disability. We were so moved by his life. Thank you so much for sharing it.
Hi, I'm Clau from the Philippines. I was moved by your story and I adore your family. Sorry for your loss and congratulations for having the opportunity to know Jud. I blogged about your son, hope it's okay with you.. Here's the link http://cluelessclyde.blogspot.com/2009/07/story-of-judson.html
Hi, My name is Ryan and I'm 11. I visit this website around 3 times a day and every time I cry. Judson was such a smart boy and may he rest in peace.
Rest in peace Judson.
And I'm so sorry for your lost, he was an incredbile little boy.
Hi everybody,
I'm italian..so I say sorry for my bad english...but the only thing I would say is that I think Jud was a very very strong little man with a beautiful smile!Why life sometimes is so cruel?
Anyway,Look us from sky Jud!
I am so sorry you had to go through this. He looks exactly like my little cousin. If something happened to him I wouldn't know where my place in this world would. He is my heart. He is my cousin but, I treat him as a little brother.
Im so sorry for the loss of Judson, he was adorable and you can tell what great parents he had by how happy he was. Thank you for this sharing his story, the website is beautiful. I'll think of Jud often
This open my eyes to alot of things.
this was one of the best thigs that i ever read,watched,seen.
This is an amazing website! What an incredible tribute to an incredible boy who is spending each day walking with our incredible Lord and Savior Jesus. Thanks for continuing to let us all in. May God truly bless this project, and may He continue to be glorified through the life and death of Judson Drake Levasheff!
Im really sorry about judson he's a very cute little special guy and it made me cry alot as im a 17year old girl. i feel deeply for all of you but you will see him again 1 day loads of love to you all.
Hi: I happened upon your website and was very moved by all of the obvious work you are doing to bring to light Krabbe's Disease. My son, Evan died of Krabbe's Disease in 1986. He died at 22 months. Many will tell you that they can't imagine what you went through. I can. I know that someday we will be reunited with our little angels.
I will keep Judson in my prayers. I will also keep your family in my prayers. We never stop missing our little angels, but the pain does get easier to cope with.
Sincerely,
Irene and Steve Herring
May prayers will continually be with your family. God lead me to this website. I know it was because He is reminding me to stop....take more time with my children. They are just on loan for now. That ultimatly, they are His children. I am just responsible for them for now. Thank you. For because of this website, I have gained a new appreciation for my children.
God Bless!
Christina
Just watched Judson's story on Youtube via Hunter's Hope. I am so sorry for your loss, but am touched by your care and dedication to your child. Looking forward to your book.
I am truly sorry about your death and I pray that you all are doing okay since your death. Let God bless you and have a blessed life

This little boy has some amazing parents and could not have lived a more blessed life. God Bless you all.
i am 12 years old and i will think twice every time i do something and i am sooooo sorry about jud he so cute and always smiling and i wish the best for you guys and dont ever forget him he is always with you and i am so glad i took the time out of my day to go on this site he is a wonderful kid and very smart he is with you i wish the best
My heart is grieving now in your loss...I sit in tears at my desk....wishing although we have not been close...I could have loved and supported you through this. Though I know you have eternal joy in Jesus and the knowledge that he is running, stomping and laughing in the streets of gold...I also know your pain must be more than monumental. If you ever want to just "get away"...you are welcome anytime to come and visit. Please know you can call any time...day or night. Blessings my sister and brother in Jesus.
Much love
Because He Lives,
Sarah Karam Sproles
Hi Christina,
I just met you at the mall today. I just finished reading your story and all of the blogs. All I can say is, what a beautiful family. Your story has touched me so deeply. You have an amazing way with words and I'm so glad your writing a book about Jud and passing it on for all of us. What an amazing little boy. The spitting image of Jessie! I'm so glad I met you. I hope I can see you again.
Sarah
I have a 19 month old daughter and can't even begin to imagine how difficult it would be to lose her. Thanks for sharing his story. I'm looking forward to seeing your book come out. He was an amazing little boy.
I am so so sorry! I feel so bad! I bet all you could have thought was at least he lived a wonderful life before and we got to see him! At least you have another child
Dear Judson
Your mommy, daddy and sister have been doing such a wonderful thing sharing your short life with us. I want to thank you for being such a wonderful and caring little boy. your story so well told and updated by your mum have made rainy days in my life seem not so bad. I feel sad that you only shared your life with them for a short time, but from the little time you had you did BIG things. Your place in heaven is such a special place and I am sure you are the best angel up there. I have sent my angels with special hugs to your parents and sister and they will bring one to you as well.
Your story is sad but so GREAT you have taught me so much and yet we will never meet on this earth.
THANK YOU
Thank you so much for sharing sweet Judson's story with us. I wish that I had kept a journal like you so that we could remember Lucas's every step and words. It saddens me that I didn't so I live vicariously through Judson's story. I have a few video's of Lucas and I am very lucky to still have him here with me. Lucas is 10 years old now and lives with Krabbe'! I have watched your video's so many times. Thank you again for sharing them.
Love to your family,
Kim, My son is Lucas Nims
Hello Levasheff family, i felt compelled to leave a message here after stumbling across a video of your beautiful son singing the national anthem on youtube :) He is most definitely an angel sent down to earth. A child that beautiful and intelligent is truly a gift and i can see by the videos that he spread joy and love to everyone around him.
Viewing your videos and reading your positive loving words has taught me a valuable lesson, that no matter how tragic and upheaving a situation one is put into, there is always something beautiful that came from it. and your son is the most beautiful soul i have ever witnessed.
regards

Man, This really touched me. Jud was such an amazing child. I can only imagine how ya'll feel from time to time. I just cried and cried. May god bless your Family. Take care.
Sincerely, Pam Sells
I came across the video of Jud resiting the National Anthem on you tube and in the corner it said how he died 6 months later and i got goose bumps all over and had to see your site, i just watched the video of him with Jessie and i cried.
you can see he was such a smart kid and he had love for his sister, i cannot see the logic or understanding of something like that happening to such a young and promising life.
ive signed up for the printed copy and i hope many other people see this site so the memory of little Jud is never forgotten.
It is something that will be with me for life and i think it will influence forthcoming decisions in my life.
James Sullivan
Hi,
That was very nice of you to let people learn about his experience with krabbe disease. I'm so sorry to hear about that. Also congrats about your wedding. I just read it on here. Hope to hear from you.

jud is inspirational.
Dear Parents of Judson,
Hi our names are Brittany and Carlie and we are cousins and hearing about your story is heartbrakeing. It must be hard to know every day when you wake up there will be something missing in your heart. Judson. We know how hard it is to lose something very close to you. We wish you the best of luck to get through it.
Sincerly,
Brittany and Carlie
hello, my name is Estephany im 16 years old...my mom was at starbucks this morning and brought this card, i decided to look up the website and Judsons story...ive read some of the journal entries that will be on the book, and i began to cry.

Hi. I saw your card in a Starbucks this morning. My husband and 21 month old son were in the car waiting for me. As I waited for my coffee I just kept looking at the cute card and the adorable little picture of Judson.... and seeing those dates on the card I knew that this little spirit had passed on.
I'm looking through your site right now and my heart is so heavy. This was one lucky/loved little man. His story has moved me tremendously....
Judson has touched my heart, his spirit was so bright and beautiful. I will never forget him, he was such a lucky boy to have such loving parents. Thank you so much for sharing him with all of us. GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY.
I have visited your site before and today wanted to sign the guestbook. On the eve of this Mothers Day i would like to thank and honor you for having great compassion, strength, and courage as a woman and a mother. What love i can feel from you when i watch the videos. How lucky Judson was to have you as his caretaker. God has blessed you and now has blessed me with the expierence of your story.
Hi Christina,
This is Alex and Kelsie's sister. I stumbled upon your website the other day and just can't seem to steer away. Your story (and Judson's) has really touched my heart in ways that I cannot begin to explain without sobbing over my keyboard. I want you to know that I am yet another person whose heart has been touched by your amazing testimony. I will continue to follow your family and take from your story a deeper love for my daughter as well as a better understanding of the God we serve. Thank you for sharing and God Bless you and your family.
Such a lovely boy, i often saw thed video singing star spangled banner on youTube... can´t believe that this realy happend so you all...
My little daughter is now nearly 4 years old...

I don´t know what to say...
I´m so sorry!
Im so sorry abot Judson, I know what it feels like to lose somone.
Dear Levasheff Family,
Our mother passed away in her sleep unexpectedly of a brain anurysm on April 4th, 2009, just a few ago. My sister's went to my moms resting place at Fairhaven last Friday and noticed Judson's burial marker, our mom has been buried next to your beloved son. We are so sorry for your loss. I have watched Judson's Video and the way he made all of you laugh reminds me of how a childs laughter and happiness would put a smile on our mom's face. The loss of a loved one who was so close to one's heart is painful but I know Judson and our mother are with God. When we visit our mother at Fairhaven we will make sure to take care of Judson as well. Maybe, one day, we will meet to give your family a hug.
Love,
Elma Rosales and Barcenas Family
I'm very sorry to here about Jud. When i first watched the videos i just started crying to hard.

I Came across the youtube vidio of jud. and smiled all the way through. then I saw what happened and came to this site. I am still smiling with tears of joy ! What an angel!
Hi Family,
Im very sorry about you loss.
Im very in love with your little boy and i love your strength about his loss.
I love you guys
Hannah
Thanks a lot for sharing Jud's story, for sharing the videos and the documentation of this wretched disease, but also above all sharing the power and joy of Jud and your family despite this diagnosis and the progression of disease. I don't know children with Krabbe disesase, but I am working with parents and children with other, different kinds of life-shortend diseases in Germany. And I think that trusting in the child and help that they can live their lifes as children with joy and love until their last day as much as possible is the greatest gift from parents and friends to these children.
So again: thank you a lot for sharing this part of your private life with other parents, professionals and friends!
I don't kow what to say, bacause there are no words.
What a beautiful, wonderful, amazing, silly, awesome, magical little boy your lives were blessed with. Within only moments of watching his videos, he had my heart. 'I am sorry' does not even seem to come close to the right thing to say. Your loss is just too deep for words.
Sending you all prayers of peace. Sending prayers of happiness and light to beautiful Jud.
Best wishes on your book, I know it will help many families.
I seen several videos on youtube about this little boy. I watched them and I fell in love with him. He was so darling and so smart. I will pray for you all daily. I never knew something like that could happen to someone. I know a little girl that just got diagnosed with this disease and she is the same way. She is very smart just like Jud was. Well I just thought I would leave a message on his page. Hope everything is going well for you guys. *Be Strong*
I am a 30 year old dad with a 5 year old son, I found this site just surfing youtube at 5am. So very very upsetting, stay strong.
My thoughts are with you, what a little star.
With love forever.
Christina, Drake, and Jessie Girl
I look forward to reading your book. Thank you for being brave enough to let us walk this journey with you. I feel like I know Judson and you all personally through all your wonderful videos. Your deep faith in God pours out in your writing. Jessie will always treasure the hours of video taken with her big brother when she is older. May God continue to wrap you in HIS loving embrace. With peace, blessings, and healing tami (mommy of 3 - a boy and girl here on earth and a son in heaven) WeeCareHouston.org
I have visited this website several times.. I cry every time I watch the videos of Judson.. You are such strong parents and I hope to be just like you two some day. Jessie is an adorable little girl and I wish the best for you and your family. You are clearly my role models when it comes to parenting.

god bless
carrie,chris,kayla,jr
I had no idea that something like this could happen to anyone. I had no understanding of what Krabbe Disease was. Your time with your son was to short but from what I can see he was a very happy and VERY smart Little guy. Iam a 30 yr old mother of 3 children and you have opened my eyes very wide on spending each special moment with my children. THANK YOU
I'm so sorry for your lost...i saw the first video of him singing the national anthem on youtube so i just wanted to say i think your son was a bright little boy and so smart.Also i think he has a very good heart for his family and friends and he has some great humor.
Sincerely,
Evangeline Newcomb
I first got to know about Krabbe disease in my masteral class, a classmate reported about it and showed Jud's video. I cried buckets then and still am crying buckets now. Judson's such a sweet boy. I am really amazed and in a way thankful that your family have such a strong faith and your faith keeps you going. I do hope and pray that much progress will come in finding a cure for Krabbe disease. Hope I can get a Jud shirt all the way here in the Philippines! God bless you Levasheff family! Just keep the faith.
Much love
I saw Judson's story at a Hunters Hope Ball in Rochester, NY on Friday night, it is now Monday afternoon and I have not been able to get the image of your sweet little boy out of my head. He is an inspiration to me, and I imagine, to any one who see's his smile on your home videos. You should feel truly blessed that he was a part of your life, even if it was for a very short time. I can only pray that my future children possess the loving
been on this website so many times, makes me cry everytime. he s such a beautiful boy and such great intellegence. i cant imagine what you went threw loosing a amazing boy like that, his videos are soo cute, and you can tell hes stressed because he cant stand up atleast hes with the angels now.
rest in peace sweetie.
hope you jessie and you two are doing well .

I came here today to watch more videos of Jud!! What a sweet sweet boy he was. Thank you again for sharing him with all of us...
This boy had so much charm, he was obviously tenderly cared for and the heart and joy of his family. I'm so sorry that this happened to him and I give you my deepest condolences.
Gyda from Iceland
I was looking through videos on youtube and ran across Judson's Star Spangled Banner. I loved it!!! Seeing him eat and sing at the same time. WOW!! who else do you know that does that? Then at the end, it said he died, so I wondered about his story. I was shocked!! I am sitting here bawling like a baby looking at how happy and vibrant he was. To lose his life at such a young age. Such a beautiful kid. I had a son that had cancer in 1987. It's hard seeing a loved one go through all the pain and suffering that some have to go through. God Bless your family and keep you strong. Love, Rebecca and RIP Judson!!!
Hello Im Sorry To Hear About you Loss My Friends Showed Me This Sight And I Was Touched By Juds Story Its Sad That He Had Such A Short Life But As U See From The Videos He Was A Happy Child
Love
Danielle
Hi Levasheff Family,
One day I was looking up something random on Youtube, and guess what I saw? Jud's Star Spangled Banner!! I made me really happy. I even looked Jud up--and hear I am now. But the I saw Jud had died. I had birst out in tears because he made me cheer up! Something similar happened to my friend, but she had Meningitis. She dies in 5 days. I was sad. Anyway, best blessing for the rest of your life--and one day, you'll see him. He's in a much better plae now, then here and being disabled. Good luck with the rest of your life!

Hello Levasheff family. I just want you to know that I am truly sorry for your loss.. I thought I would share a great story with you... One day I was having a very bad day, so I decided to look up youtube videos to cheer me up, all of a sudden I saw little Jud's star spangled banner come up... when I watched this video I was instantly light hearted again. I have since that dayy showed everyone i know the video of this sweet little boy, way smarter than his years to cheer them up, however when I watched the video today for the first time I noticed that is said little Judson passed away 6 months after that video was taken. I was so deeply saddened, I just cant imagine what a joy and blessing little Jud was for the too short of a time he was in your lives. Your little boy was a blessing to me even through just a youtube video. What an amazing young boy. You guys are comendably strong and I praise you for that.
~Aleah H, Colorado
i am so sorry for your loss, what a truly inspiring little boy! this video had me in absolute tears. my heart goes out to you and your whole family. god bless you all. xxx
What a precious little boy, I am so sorry for your loss.
That is so sad. i hope my little brother doent get that he is 14 mo. i am scared now i really appreciate him tons more now. that is soooo saaad....
My 11 year old daughter stumbled across Judson singing the national anthem on you tube and just made me watch it! She said..."he's so cute and it's funny"!
While she had told me a few days prior about this boy singing.. I only caught bits and pieces of her story about a paralyzed, mute, little boy... I was trying to cook dinner, finish homework, and do the day to day chores and didn't really "hear" her.
Today she finally stopped me long enough to listen to this little boy sing...and I have never been so moved in my life. I sat and listened to this sweet little boy sing our national anthem...and I have never felt so patriotic! So..my daughter had my attention and she led me to the "storyofjudson" web site. WOW! I am a nurse and I had never heard of this disease. I had heard of Jim Kelly's son dying of some rare disease, but really didn't stop to find out what it was. I have been so moved by Judson's and Hunter's story that I want to stay up to date with the research of this disease and try to bring awareness to the need of additional newborn screening
I am so sorry about your loss. remember there is tons of people out there praying for you and i am as well. i come on this website all the time and it always puts tears in my eyes. i hope jessie is doing well.
Just letting you know that I'm thinking and praying for you always.I stop by the page daily to watch your precious angel.(Button)Everytime I come here I always have a smile on my face but everytime I leave it's in tears.It just breaks my heart.I'm glad Jessie is doing well and is healthy she sure looks alot like her big brother Judson.I know he is watching down on all of you always.
I am so sorry for your loss. I have been watching your videos everyday, and i just love this wonderful little boy who was so smart and happy. His wonderful smile is what keeps me wanting to watch his videos everyday. I was so glad that your little girl does not have this horrible disease. I first learned about it from your YouTube story and i did'nt even know it existed. It was heartbreaking to see such a healthy, happy boy deteriote so fast that i cry every time i watch him. May god keep giving you strength. MILLIE
Hi, I'm Jessica an 11 year old girl, I was randomly looking though Youtube video's and saw the video of Judson singing the National Anthem, It was so cute! Then I read about how he died and had Krabbe disease, I feel SOOO bad for you! What a horrible, terrible, loss. When I read about the way Judson died, all the happiness from my heart just, went away, I hate it when someone die's so young, It makes me SO sad! I will tell everyone I know about this boy, I will always remember that little one, and love him like if he was my brother, even if I never meet him. God Bless Judson. And your family.
Words have no meaning for what I wish to convey. Judson is now etched into my mind and is a part of my life from this day to eternity. What a doll! Thank you for sharing this wonderful, brilliant, loving, and happy boy with our family. I'm a mother of seven, the oldest is nearly 21, the youngest is 12. We live with an incurable and progressive disease, but we have been blessed in that it is a slow moving progression. Judson will be the person who reminds me to think before I act, speak, or am negative. Thank you. Best wishes on your book. You can be sure we will purchase a copy and will also review it and share with others. Bless your family. Love, Teraisa
My heart aches watching the videos of your beautiful son.
My God bless you and your family.
Christina, Drake and Jessie~
I am so blessed to have found this site. Your family is truly amazing and loving. Judson's story has truly blessed me! What a cool and sweet little boy! I had a son named Henry who only lived for one week and even though it was the hardest time in my life, I would not change a thing.(well, except that he could have had a long and happy life...I'm sure you understand what I am saying.) When I was 6mos pregnant, we found out that he had Down's syndrome and it was strongly recomended that I have an abortion. NO WAY! He was my son and I loved him already. Henry never opened his eyes or made a sound but he was here and he was loved.
Your story gives me strength and even though it's been 10 years now since we lost Henry, it still is a sorrow in my heart at times. Your little Judson made me smile and cry and I will never forget you all!
your story made me smile so much seeing that gorgeous little baby boy sing and smile.
i'm not a parent, im just a teen. ut my friend showed me this site and i was watching the video's and i had it in my head "nah, im not going to cry". and once i saw him singing, i started lashing out the tears.
you've heard this probably more than a million times, and i bet mine doens't matter, but im really sorry.
your baby boys up in heaven singing with the angels now.
and looking down on you three to make sure you guys are well and good. he's after all, your little angel.
:)
i am soooo sorry to here about your angel. i dont really know how it feels to have lost your baby but i know it is the most terrible thing that could ever happen. im sure by now you are trying to forget the aweful day of his passing but it is also an unforgetable time. i wish your family the best and i hope that one day you see your baby again and get to hold him in your arms.
god bless
thanks for sharing this sweet story with the world. i was inspired by Judson's smile and encouraged to see parents like you that teach your kids to love and know God. i can't wait to see meet Jud one day.
So touching and thoughtful your website is... So sorry for your loss.
Just have read bits and pieces of your story of Jud, truely amazing how God works. I am grateful that you are so willing to share your deepest emotions with other's so that God can work in others. Your family will be in my prayers.
I found your story off of facebook, becoming a fan of Jud. The cute face drew me in. I was born on the same day as Jud, so he will be in my memory forever, and Christina we share the same name, and last but not the least(the greatest) is that you are believers in Christ.
hi. i've watched the video of jud from youtube. he's so smart and really have touched my heart. very sweet and clever. what really amazed me was even though he is suffering from a very horrendous disability and incapability, he never ceases to smile. despite of the hardships he is undergoing before, he never stopped smiling. i know he's very safe in god's hands now. i know he's watching over you guys from heaven.
God Bless You, and thank you for sharing Jud's life to us. he's an inspiration.
A friend sent me this link - I just wanted to write you and tell you what a beautiful little boy you had. Such a blessing and I am so sorry for your loss.
You were truely blessed with a very special child... The video footage was amazing, what a smart young man he was. So full of laughter and joy even in his last days. Hard to believe he was only 2. I thank you for sharing such a personal story with us.
God bless yo and your family,

Judson has touched my heart.What an amazing little man he was.Watching the video's brought tears to my eyes and reading his story and so on.Just want you to know that you are in my thoughts and in my prayer's always.Sending all my love and prayer's to you.
All my love to your little ladybug.She is so adorable and sweet.
Hey,
Im nicii! I am so touched with your sons story. I am so sorry that he passed away (R.I.P) God obviously took him from you because he needed a little angel to be by his side.
Although i am really young and haven't experienced someone passing away in my life (apart from a cat or dog :P)
I don't know what it feels like.
So, however you feel,
may God, help you to feel better
and help you to feel like Jud is always next to you
FOREVER.

Dear Christina, thank you for sharing your journey through your article "God's Presence Revealed Through a Blind and Suffering Boy" in the Biola magazine.
I am sorry I did not have the privilege of meeting Judson.
I just wanted to say thanks for sharing. My wife and I have a journey in the loss of our first son Michael John. As you said, "He may not promise to remove our pain, but he does promise to be with us through the valleys."
If this email finds you in the valley or experiencing the joyful presence of God we are pausing to pray for you, Drake and Jessie at this time.
Blessings,

Hi Christina and Drake -
My name is Melissa Stephenson (maiden name Fox) and I was a resident in Alpha while you were a residents directors at Biola. I read your story in the Biola Connections magazine and was so sorry about your loss and the great grief you have experienced. Thank you for your amazing testimony of God's working in you throughout this process! Your faithfulness to believe in His goodness despite your tragic loss is a real encouragement to me and I'm blessed by your faith. This weekend I am running in a half-marathon for my friend whose boys have been struck with a form of muscular dystrophy (http://www.runforoursons.org/) and reading your story makes my run all the more meaningful to me. Thank you and God bless you guys!!!
Dear Levasheff Family,
Your site is amazing and so touching. Your children are precious. I am so sorry for your loss. The heartache and grief must be so difficult. Thanks for sharing your painful journey--there is no doubt that God will use your journey, your book, and your precious Jud to reach people.
Blessings to you,
The Ruddle Family
Hello Levasheff family!
It has been a few months since I left a message in the guestbook. I wanted to share my little sweetheart story with a few of my friends. After watching the clip they too have fallen in love with Judson. I never met Jud but I feel as if he was my little boy from the clips your family has shared with the world. Please do not think I am crazy when I say "I love you Judson!" I will be back to see you again sweetie!
hello
I am really touched with this unbreakable sad story of your cute little boy (R.I.P).
I know God has his own reason for why this happend.But i know this boy is in a better place.God Bless this family..and you're on my prayers.he will always be in my prayers even though i did'nt know him..
w/
I pray that you will be wrapped in the almighty power of Gods love,the love your son was filled with to the end. Juds storys has touched my heart. May his story make people count thier blessings like it did me!
God bless this family....What a beautiful child
It was heart breaking to read your story of your son Judson, such a sweet little boy. There are days as a mother when my son makes me so upset I foget how lucky I am to have him. My son Gavin was born December 5, 2004 just 19 days before Judson and I can't imagine life with out him. Thank you for sharing your story and opening up my eyes to this awful disease. Keep up the great work and getting others to help you fight this horrid disease.

This an amazing and heartbreaking story. I was blessed with a beautiful baby boy, to be named Keagan, and I recently miscarried him. Your faith through the entire process with your son Jud has given me hope. I would like to thank you for being such an inspiration for me.
Respectfully,

Hello,
I am really touched by all that I read concerning your dear son (R.I.P.) and this terrible disease called Krabbe.
My thoughts are with you. Thank you so much for sharing your story with me.
Louise
I stumbled across your site today and spent 2 hours reading and weeping. Your story is told so sincerely, heart-wrenchingly, and yet with such faith. I felt like I needed to write today and say that I am praying for you all -- and then I just read that today would have been Judson's birthday! I'm sure this is a hard day for you and you are leaning on the Lord - know that he is your ever-present help in times of trouble. There is a CD that I wish I could send you; it has served many families who are suffering in our church. It's called "Come Weary Saints" and is produced by Sovereign Grace Ministries... It may help you as you seek to grieve in a God-glorifying way this Christmas and to keep your eyes on our wonderful Savior in the midst of your pain. Thank you for sharing your story, for trusting your Lord, and for being a reminder to all of us that our lives (and those of our children) are but a breath, but there is eternal life waiting for those who trust in Jesus Christ's work on the cross.
Grace and peace to you today, and a merry Christmas!
-Rachael
oh my gosh he is soo adorable..How did he get that disease? that is sooo sad..Is there a cure for that disease?
I never knew your son, but laughed with you while watching his videos. He is an amazing little boy, who will forever be adorable and treasured in God's arms.
I can't understand the pain of losing a child,but knowing your family as have I have in the past, I know that you all believe that there is a purpose in everything God allows to happen.
Just seeing his awesome personality, makes me believe that he is dancing and singing on his birthday with Jesus.
He may even know my dad up there, I would like to think so!
Much love
Paige Butler-Stidham
Hello,
We visited the cemetary today and came across your son's gravesite. My daughter who is 16 saw the cards with this website and we wanted to learn more about Judson. Thanks for sharing your story.
God Bless.
i am so sorry for your loss this made me cry but i kept watching it because he was so cute and little. he was soooo smart i couldnt beleive it. my son loves cars and i thought of him. my cousin died the other day of krabbe.it made me think of him also .
My last message must have been too long since it did not completely appear. So let me finish.
I was going to finish by saying, I was being naive and thoughtless. Your story has opened my eyes in countless ways in giving me appreciation for what I usually take for granted. Thank you.
My two boys, 3 and 2 yrs of age love the show Oobie. So we went to youtube to find some footage and found a sweet little girl named Sage singing the Oobie song, my children were amazed to see another child singing "their" song. So then we decided to find other young talented singers and came upon Jud's Star Spangled banner video. He captivated us, then I read he had passed on and my heart broke to think of such a brilliant spirited child passing on before adulthood.
I wept from deep within my belly, in viewing his life's journey. Wanting to reach through the screen to show my love and support, a message to let you know Jud's story has reached another family is the only thing I could muster. My Connor (3) even said that Jud's videos were his new favorite show, Jud captivated my Connor with his infectious laughter. Thank you for sharing your story with the world, my son Connor has a mild disability of Cerebral Palsy that I used to feel so awful about...I was being naive
what a precious tribute to sweet and smart Jud!!! loved watching his precious life with such a loving mommy and daddy! praying for you all now as I am sure you miss that cute and precious boy everyday! Much love in Christ to you!!!
i hope you guys always remember him!!!cause hes always gonna be thre w/u even if u cant see him he'll always be yalls heart!!:):)
Hi Christina, I don't know why but I was drawn to this page today and needed to weap. God is calling me to pray for you today, and I will obey.
In His Great Love,
Crystal
Jud was a beautiful little boy, this is the first time I've been to his website, it is amazing, God Bless you
my heart goes out to the family and friends of judson?he was a cute little boy? very smart too? his story has touched me in so many ways? he did the song on u tube very good? god bless u this christmas? from christina in cali
What a stunningly beautiful tribute to your precious son! Thank you so much for sharing him with us. I pray that your video will cause each of us to slow down just a bit and more intentionally savor and treasure our children, our grandchildren, those special people God has blessed us with. God's peace and grace to you this Christmas season!

I'm so sorry about Judson. I was watching him on YouTube singing the national anthem and I was reading some of the comments and a lot of them said "may he rest in piece", and " I visited the website and I was heartbroken." Well I am heartbroken. I bet he was a wonderful child and it shows that you care so much about him. I am only 13 years old and I care so much for all for these things. Trust me, If I didn't care I wouldn't me writing this. But I do care so much. This really made me start crying. After hearing this, this really made me stop and think about what people are going through right now. He really is a good child. May he and your family be blessed and may he rest in piece. Thank you so much.
hi,
what i can say is that it is just plain sad that sickness has to happen to Judson...I can see a bright future for him...
I am not a parent but I can understand the pain of having this to your child.
I am just speechless...but nonetheless, I am happy that you found ways to inspire other people and to me it is really an honor to have seen this...
Take care and God Bless...
Regards,
Fred
Sorry for your loss! Jud was such a beautiful toddler. I bet he is in heaven now looking down on you! May God bless your family!
I AM SO SORRY FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES LOST... YOUR SON SEEMED LIKE AN AMAZING LITTLE BOY... I DON'T KNOW WHAT YA'LL ARE GOING THROUGH BUT EVERYTHING WILL EVENTUALLY BE OK... GOD WORKS IN MYSTERIOUS WAYS AND EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON... IT'S JUST GODS WAY OF SHOWING YOU THAT YOU HAVE THE STRENGTH TO GET THROUGH WHATEVER COMES TO YOU... OR WHATEVER HE THROWS AT YOU IN THE FUTURE... JUST REMEMBER THAT YOU HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS THAT LOVE YOU AND ARE WILLING TO HELP YOU GET THROUGH IT... JUDSON WILL BE MISSED BY MANY AND ESPECIALLY HIS LITTLE VOICE AND ENTHUSIASM... GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY...
IM SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOST...
Hey,
I'm so sorry for your loss. Jud was a blessing from God. He's in a much better place now. Your story has really touched me. I was in tears after watching every video. God bless your family.
OMG.. this is so sad..
Good Morning Family of Judson. I've made copies of this page and sent a heartfelt email to my family and friends. I am seeking a cure for Alzheimer's and now I see we have a disease that needs a cure for the little ones. You as parents and your love for your children show me how wonderful having religion in a famiy really means. Your time with him was QUALITY time. God Bless all of you. I pray for the end to this disease. Thank you for sharing. I can only imagine...
Dear Levasheff Family,
My heart goes out to you. I cried throughout the whole video of Jud. He is a precious boy who I will never forget. I will pray for him. He is an angel and you will be with him one day. God bless you all.
I was searching for a certain kid singing a song on google.com when I came across this. It broke my heart. Kids are my life. Although he only lived for a short time, I can tell that Judson enjoyed every minute of his life. I only hope that I can be the parent to my child that you were to Jud. He appears to have been an amazing child.
welli hate to here all this i have read all the stories and i just can not image of losing your own child ,,,, will rember in you all in prayer
I just want to wish the best of luck to this family and hope everything is going well. My 3 year old cousin just got killed in a tragic accident so I want you to know that there are others feeling for you and hope you charish each day as we all should learn to do. God bless you all!!
Hello..
I saw the video of Jud when he was singing on youtube, and therefore I caught sight of this page!
It's a really touching story, I cried a lot I have to tell you, but most amazingly is that he had his wonderful smile all the time, to the end!
They say that when you are in a critic situation, you can do whatever it takes to survive for example when you have broken both your legs but have to run to survive- then you run! and the joy Jud still had, seemed to be his way of surviving I think...
When I had read all of this and watched the videos I can only say that I can now realize that I should not take my family or the one closest to me for granted, appreciate every moment I have here!:)
thank you and have a blessing day!
dear judsons family
i cries through judsond whole video
i will pray for hm.
he seemed like such a sweet baby
im so sorry for the loss
one day you will be with him
My family lives around the corner on College Drive from the park you often took Jud to to play. We saw you there a couple of times while Jud was still on this earth. We have watched the memorials go up in the park, from the bench to the tree and so forth. We have witnessed the strength of God in a family that has gone through something all parents never dream of experiencing - the loss of a child. My wife and I have been blessed with 4 beautiful children, including a boy, Tyler, who is about 2 1/2. We were at the park playing today and read the cards hanging on the tree and took one of the cards in the plastic bag. Your testimony of strength and courage is rare, and I'm sure you will be blessed for it. This story has spoken to my heart about not taking my time with my kids for granted. I am learning more and more to cherish each and every moment that I am able to spend with them. Thank you for your testimony. I trust that all others who read it will be impacted as was I. God bless.
Levasheff Family,
I came upon your blog yesterday; through many tears and heart-ache, I began to read Judson's story, and just finished it this morning. Thank you for your willingness to share your heart and story with the world. I can't help of think of Matthew 5:14-16 "You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."
You're light is shining brightly and I know that the response it evoked in me, was to praise my Heavenly Father for Judson's life and your example! I can't help but rejoice when I think what God is storing up for you in heaven! Not only will you be face to face with Jesus, not only will you be reunited with your beloved son, but the treasure that awaits you there, because of your faithfulness, I believe will be something to behold!
Although I can not begin to fathom the heart-ache and pain you have experienced in this life, continue to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, as we expectantly wait for His glorious return!
My life and faith has been forever changed by reading Judson's story. I will faithfully begin to lift your family up in prayer as your journey continues. Thank you for the blessing and example you have become to me and others!
In Him,
Erica Schrader
I used to work with Courtney Jones at the Lazy Dog Cafe. I am her friend on myspace and she posted a bulliten about the anniversary of her nephew. I found a link to this page from Courtneys bulliten and I am heart broken after seeing the video's and reading Judsons story. I just wanted to tell you that I am sorry about what has happened to your beautiful son. The videos of Judson made me laugh, he is a cute kid and very intelligent for his age. I hope that you are living well after such heart break. It is a great thing that you have this site, never forget.
Dear Judson's Family,
I'm so incredibly sorry for your loss! I really can't imagine what you're going through, but I'd like you to know I am committing to pray for your family (I'm confident God will guide my prayers as I don't know you all personally)!
Today, I mentioned on facebook that I heard the lyrics "someone is praying you through your rain" and it just really hit me how valuable those are who pray for me and my family at various hard times. My comment was "I wonder who I need to be praying through their rain?" and Sarah Cox sent me the link to your website. Sarah is a friend, whom I went to church with when we lived in So Cal. Her brother is also married to my cousin, Chiara Hawley. We moved to Texas this past year.
Is First EV Free your home church? If so, I think it's ironic that I grew up attending there in my elementary school years. Our best friends, Rod
Hello Levasheff Family,
We just wanted you to know that we are thinking and praying for you today as you mark the one year anniversary of Judson's home going. We think of you all the time and enjoy keeping up with you through this amazing web site.
We pray for that perfect peace that transcends our human understanding today and every day as you continue through life anticipating not only our Lord's return but being able to see Judson again. Losing a child makes us truly have that eternal perspective. Would love to chat or see you soon.
Love in Him,
The Taggart Family
I remember the first time I went to Jud's Caringbridge site. I looked at his picture and he captured me heart and soul. As Jud enjoys his new life in heaven, his life here on earth has enriched so may lives and will save lives as he makes a huge impact on the need for Universal Newborn Screening. (http://www.huntershope.org)
Thank you for sharing your most precious "Gift" from God.Judson lives in our hearts forever.
You are in my heart today and always.
Edie
Dearest Levasheffs, I enter this day in prayer for you and all who love you. You will be in my prayers throughout this day which marks 1 year without Judson. I love you.
Dear Christina, Drake and Jessie,
I continue to read your blog posts, to delight in Jessie and to pray alongside you. You wrote today of your inherent desire for Judson's memory to remain alive for others. I hope that you know that Judson has made an INDELIBLE mark on my life and on others -- his warm smile, enthusiasm for life, love of his mommy, daddy and sister, and spiritual fire continue to blaze in my everyday thoughts . . . and I never even met him! Miracles are remembered eternally, and Judson was one such miracle.
May God lift you up tomorrow and every day, and may you know that you are surrounded by love from both friends and strangers alike.
Thinking of you,
Amy (Pennsylvania)
Dear family,
I have just sat and cried through Jud's story. I had to come and send a message to tell you what you already know, such a gorgeous boy and wow so bright, watching those videos made me smile so much, but sob so hard.
My little boy is 3 and he looks very similar to Jud, I don't know how you had the strength to keep going but you did, and you obviously did a good job of keeping him happy.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful boy with us and I will be thinking of you all as the 7th of the month approaches.
I wish you all well xx
i am so sorry for your lost i wish i could give my life for juds
I cried all through this. What a wonderful little boy God placed into your life. I'm so sorry for your loss. And so happy you have so many wonderful pictures and videos to remember him with. Deana
Hello, Levasheff Family.
Im very sorry about your loss. I really hope you get better soon. Please keep in touch.Hope all is well in the Levasheff Household.
With Love
Johnny.
I dont think I have cried this hard in the longest of times. At 21, I have an 11 month old son. This was the most touching life I have ever happened apon. I called the mother of my child in tears after this telling her how sweet your little boy is. I am back to crying just talking about this. His life was so incredible and meaningful I cant even begin to explain it. I love him and I love you, I know we dont know eachother but I thats how I feel. This little boy was so full of love and joy, he was a blessing. No one will ever forget about him, I know I sure wont. Im at a loss for words. All I can do is sit here cry and feel. He has truely touched me, more than I can ever thank him for.
With love,

what a blessing!!! Thank you for makeing this web sight... i struggle to find the "right" words to say.... I have a little boy also born the same month as Jud in 2004... Collin was born on the 12th and seeing little jud made my jaw drop to the floor... he is such an hansome boy!!! and WOW he amazed me!!! My little guy seems to be quite reserved even now that he is creeping up on 4 he still needs a helping hand to do new things... and little Jud... he already did the big slide!!! it was awesome to see how he drank in life!!! It was also hard to see your little man... we have MANY of the same toys... and clothes... and blankets.... and i see how you both delt with this and how much you leaned on God and loved him though this.... I hope that if i ever were in a situation as hard as yours that i could be half the mom as you are to Jud!!! May God give you his richest blessings!!! It is awesome to see that in such a short life he took risk and already did the big slide :)
What a brilliant and adorable boy!!! Im so touched after reading through this website. I can not stop thinking of the lovely kid all night. His story is really sad, but I can see happiness in his eyes in the pictures and videos. His smile is pure and warm, just like sunlight.Im sorry for your loss, and I think it is a loss for the world. I also want to say to the family: a great family, you let me know what is bravery and hope, thank you!
i read about what happened to your son and was in tears. it is sad how a little boy so full of life is just taken away like it wasnt anything. i hope your little girl can have a full and wonderful life. i am so sorry about what happened to yall. your sons story has impacted my life in ways i cant even begin to explain. thank you so much for sharing your story.
Thank you for sharing. Your little boy was very special
Blessings for your little girl
Your faith is a testimony that God's love endures. He gave you a child even for that little time. Our children are truly gifts, loaned to us, but belonging to the Heavenly Father.
I believe that my son was there to welcome little Judson to a brighter place. He was almost 13, but a freak accident took him suddenly. Our boys just went on ahead of us.
In their stead, we have a deeper understanding of life, and the great promise the Lord holds out for us in eternal life. Your dramatic videos and diary are sure to reach those who have not known God's love. Such a ministry! You are a blessing to many. Thank you for sharing the story of your little Jud, and most of all, sharing your faith through all the pain, suffering, heartbreak, yet ultimate hope and belief in God's love...and victory.
I pray that the heartbreak will ease and that you will find solace in knowing how much impact Judson has had on all of us out here because you shared his story.
Love
Dearest Levasheff Family,
Thank you so much for sharing your little Angel Judson with the rest of the world, he truly is a BEAUTIFUL child, in every aspect of the word. I visit with your son every time I visit my brother Froylan Alcazar who passed away just two months ago.
This website truly is a celebration of Judson's life. It made me cry, laugh, and smile with such sentiment that I can not really explain. I am sure that your pain is never less, but hopefully with time and support your COMFORT grows to bring your entire family serenity. Once again, Thank you!
Christina, I just wanted you to know, I am thinking of you today. You are in my prayers, as you often are.I can remember being so angry with God because I asked Him to heal Kenji and He took him home with Him instead. I never doubted that God would completely heal him here on earth and I don't understand why He didn't. Why did transplant work for some children but not mine? Why were some children healed, who by the way had parents with a lot less faith than I, and my son had to go to his heavenly home? Why is this my story? I miss our sons so much. I have come to know Jud and Jessie thru your entries and I love them like I personally know them, and you, their beautiful mother as well. Along with others, we can pray for better days ahead and await that glorious day when we will see our children again!
a beautiful little boy,god bless your strength and faith.as a dad of a five year old boy,i cannot imagine going through what you have.your family is an inspiration to us all.take care folks.many prayers from ireland.
Dear Levasheff Family,
I got to know about your son on youtube and then followed along by reading the description and then to this site. His story just hit my heart so hard and I just can`t believe how much you have been through. I am extremely sorry for your loss but always know that God, Jesus is with you
What a beautiful website! I happen to do a search on myyearbook.com on krabbes disease as my 13 month grandson has this horrible infliction. I came across your video then this website. I havent finished viewing all of it but promise I will! Thanks!
that so sad I soooo sorry and you will aways be in my prays
I randomly came across Jud's video on youtube.
What a precious boy. He has to be one of the cutest, smartest, sweetest boys ever. Now he is one of God's most precious angels.
I have a 2 1/2 year old son and I do not want to take even one more day for granted with him.
Thank you SO incredibly much for sharing his story. It has affected me deeply.
What a remarkable,bright
I just wanted to say i have read all about beautiful Jud
Jud was the cutest little Boy i`ve ever seen! Everytime i watch the Video`s of him, i cry!
May God bless all of you!!!
I really dont know what to say... I came across this website by chance and have been so affected by Jud's story. What a beautiful, lovely little boy. You are clearly a loving family, and it seems that although Jud's time with you was brief, he had the most wonderful life because of you.
Thank you for sharing this story. Your son, and you, are inspirations to us all. God bless you and all the other families who have suffered losses
Emma
r videos on facebook and was so sad to learn what happened to your precious son. You seem to be a great family though, with alot of love and faith, and I hope you will have happy moments with your daughter Jessie and many good days despite the terrible loss.
Judson really made an impact on me, and I will never forget about him. I shed many tears tonight, in front of my computer in Norway. I work in a day care with kids age 2, so this really touched me.
I send you a warm hug, you are great parents!
<3
I woke up this morning feeling horrible
Thank you for sharing Juds world. We laughed and cried watching the videos of your beautiful son. The strength of your faith is unmeasurable!!
Grace and Peace to you in all your days.
Drake, Christina and Baby girl Jessie,
First and foremost I'de like to thank you for sharing your son's life with the world. I'm sorry for your loss, he was a beautiful and bright boy. Your story touched me like no other. I'm crying as I write this letter and all I can think is that Judson is in our Lord's arms free from that horrible disease. I first seen his beautiful face on Youtube and I linked to his website and I'm so happy I did. Your family will always be in my prayers. I have a 3 year of my own and I look at him and I don't know what I would do if something happened to him. The Lord is watching over you and your family and giving you strength to continue your journey here on earth. Thank you again for sharing his beautiful life with us, I would have loved to have met your son. He will always be thought of on his birthday in heaven because my dughters birthday is also November 7th. A special day indeed. Love ya Judson RIP..Thank you Drake and Christina! Sincerely Yours, Mirella Acevedo 31 Chicago Ill
Thank you for sharing your story with us .My heart breaks for you every time I watch the video's of Judson. Such a beautiful little boy ! Jessie sure does look alot like him , she's also a little darling ! I'm sure Judson is smiling down on all of you . My thoughts
THANK YOU
thank you.. thank you... such a breath taking visual of an amazing soul...
THANK YOU!
Thank you for sharing your very special child with all of us out here. Sometimes it is a tragic illness and this incredible loss that makes me think, how can I ever complain about anything!
It was so amazing watching Judson deal with his illness with such a God given sweetness and what amazing verbal skills he had at such a young age.
I don't believe I've ever seen anything as precious as this wonderful little angle.
Thanks again for sharing Judson with us.
God Bless You!
Cara
Thank you for sharing your story with us. The world grieves for your son, I grieve for your son. I know that is not what you wish, but we can also pull some of the tremendous faith that you have and hold it dear in our hearts to comfort us. Born on christmas Eve, right before Jesus' birthday, i belive your Judson was put here for a purpose. It must have been in the plans of God for him to bring a message. A special angel as your son belongs in heaven, and God took him back after he had served his purpose. Its amazing the love I feel for your son, from half way around the globe.
He will continue to live in your hearts and the hearts of many others.
Thanks again for sharing you story with us.
Thank you for sharing Jud with the world. I am so sorry for your loss, Jud was a BEAUTIFUL, STRONG, SWEET little boy. He fought so hard to live and I am sooooo sorry that he was taken from you. His eyes and sweet little voice captured my heart. I would have loved to have a son like Jud, so smart and loveable. Watching Jud has given me the strength to fight the illness that I have and not to feel sorry for myself. Once again, thanks for sharing your son with the world.
I feel so sorry, i have a younger brother whos nearly 2 and looks exactly like him, so gorgeous, and clever, Jud just reminds me of him, Im sure that Jud was so happy the whole time he was on this earth, but is even happier in the place he is now.
God bless jessie, and the whole family.
Hello!
I can`t stop to cry. My Heart is bleeding while I look an this videos. I´m so sorry for the loss, but i`m sure he lives in all of our Hearts again.
I cannot find any more Words. I wish you all the best.
Lovely Greets, Madeleine
I was sobbing so hard while watching all the videos of your son Jud. He is such a blessing, he reminds me that life is a gift and also life is so precious. May God comfort you and bless your whole family.
Hello Drake, Christina and Jessie! My name is Carola Johansson, im 17 years old and I live in Sweden, Gothenburg. I'm sorry for my bad English but I hope you both can read it and maybe I can have a answer back. I would love to here from you, so I hope you can just send me a e-mail or something. It would be a pleasure to here from you! Anyway, here comes the word I wanted to say to you and again - sorry for my English!
Like some others people here around, I stumbled across Judson's video clip on YouTube of him singing the National Anthem and I was curious on what the people said: "may he rest in peace". I went to the site http://www.storyofjudson.com, and read all of the blogs and watched the videos. I was crying, I can't explain what you are going truth but both of you are such a strong person. The part that touched me the most was when Jud was talking with his dad about Job. The part of that conversation that really got me was when Jud said I will love Him (God) and also when Jud kissed Jessie all the time. Oh lord, how cute isn't that?! i had some tears coming down my face when I read that. I had some really tears coming down on my face and I can tell that I maybe cry for 2h, I don't really know what to say. Im chocked and he seems like a very beautiful and very strong and also very cute boy. You both touched my heart, and when I saw the videos - it feels like I was with you all in that momment, sittning beside you both. It amazes me that a child at Jud's age can have more faith than most adults. Anyway, I will be thinking of Jud's family in the coming months and may God keep His hand on Jud's family at all times.
- Jud?! I know you can hear me so I write this for you here and hope I someday I will see you. I didn't really know you but you really, really touched my heart. The way you smile makes me happy and you seems like a very cute boy with such a amazing parents and you also seems extreme lovely. I don't really know what to say but I hope you have a good place up there and sure, we all know that you have a good place up there. I will always thinking about you every day, you touched everybody's heart and I maybe guess that many people are chocked and also thinking of you. You going to be in my heart forever, I maybe don't know you but it feels like I have known you since the day you was born. I hope you are watching me, and take good care of me when I get older and I hope you maybe can see my kids and also watching over them! You are a good boy, Im going to light a candle every day, the day you passed away. Just for you and also for you family! May you rest in peace little boy - I hope we can meet someday and eat some candy or something! You are know a true star and also everybody's little angel! Good bless you and your family! Many hugs from me to you // Carola Johansson, Sweden - Gothenburg ..
I came across Judson's video while randomly browsing through YouTube and looking for baby singers like Connie Talbot and Kaitlyn Maher. I found Jud's video and eagerly watched a very young talented and handsome boy! I read the comments on that YouTube page and was curious on what the people said 'may he rest in peace'.. i went to the storyofjudson.com site and read all of the blogs and watched the videos. so much for that, i would like to tell you, the parents of Jud, that you faced this as God would like you to. This is a very inspiring story on how to face life's God-given trials. Thank you for sharing your story and may you continue to inspire others to surrender everything to God.
To Jud, may you rest in God's peace and watch over your mom, dad, and Jessie.
With kind regards,
Joyce C.

Thank you for sharing with the world, the wonderful gift that is Jud.
The fond memories of his happiness and joy must bring a lot of sunshine to your every days.
Be happy because he is definitely in a happier place.
Again, I've stumbled across this and didn't know you all, but what a gorgeous little boy. He looks so happy, and is obviously very special. So bright and absolutely beautiful.
Although I never met you Judson, your story has touched my heart. I have tears in my eyes that your life was so short, yet it looked like you had the best time.
My heart goes out to all your family.
RIP little man, sweet dreams. xxxx
I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your loss. But I know that Judson is watching over you! GOD BLESS.

Hi Christy and Drake,
I just wanted you to know that I still have the picture of all four of you on my nightstand. It reminds me to pray for you. Thanks for creating this adorable website. I look forward to your Updates and Blogs.
Also, Bumpy is doing "wonderful"! He has truly made the adjustment and is no longer being difficult. I really love him. He still remembers all the tricks you taught him and is a very sweet cat. He's my baby.
Love,
Shiryl
Where to I begin? I was showing my 3 year old son videos of children singing the Star Spangled Banner as I came across Judson beautiful video. What a handsome and intelligent little boy! You are both such incredible parents! I am at a loss of words. I am truly saddened by Judson's departure from this earth and feel the pain you must as felt as parents. I can not imagine! You have reminded me to appreciate each day and appreciate my son in a very different way.
Thank you for sharing your difficult journey with us.. May god bless your family with peace..
Came across your son's video on U-tube. I had to see a two year old sing, my son tries to sing but I have trouble making out his words. I have a son almost two and he was born with leukemia. I worry about my boys all the time, and coming across your story just breaks my heart. Your son was so cute and smart! I try to cherish every single day but the fear of the unknown can sometimes consume me. God bless your family your story and your precious son truly has touched my heart today.
www,caringbridge.org/visit/jayceblack
What can I say? The world lost a very special human being. However, Jud's legacy lives on. In his short lifetime, Jud has touched more lives, and showed us more about living in God's love and grace, than people 30x his age! Jud is truly the embodiment of "Blessing!"
Thanks for sharing your heart as you travel through this difficult journey. May God bless you for your faithfulness.
Happy Birthday Jessie Girl!!! :-)
Christina, i just met you today and I am so glad you shared with me your story and this beautiful website. Judson's videos are so cute, candid, and he seemed to always be full of happiness and life. i will visit again and I hope to see you again next time you come in =).
I came across this page and just had to leave a comment about your little boy. What a beautiful, funny, SMART, charming, precious child!
Thank you for sharing his story. It has obviously touched many lives...mine included.
~Elise
Happy Birthday Jessie!! You are very special!!
Happy 2nd Birthday to Jessie Girl!!!! Thank you for inviting me to your birthday party. I had so much fun!!
See you soon,

I stubbled across this page and it has changed my life forever. Judson is an angel and will forever be watching over you and your family. What an amazing child! I am dearly sorry for your loss, but you will see Judson again in heaven! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Thank you for sharing Judson with the rest of the world. May God Bless him...
when i was watching videos on you tube i came across jud singing and he was so cute. i found out more about him and as i started reading more my eyes started watering up because it was so sad.
I am a Ghanaian student resident in Germany. I chanced on Judson's story and cannot tell you how it will forever affect my life. I have not seen a kid with so much love, laughter and life even at the moment of darkness...he gives true meaning to life...Thanks Judson for sharing your life with the world.

TO JUD...
My dearest Drake, Christina and Jessie,
I was on U-tube and saw your beloved Jud singing. I saw, too, that he had passed away, and wanted to find out why. I went into the site you made for him and read, saw videos, pictures, and all. You have all touched my heart from deep within. I cried a lot, and wondered why? why? why?
You know what I though? Through your little Jud's going to be with Jesus, made me contemplate on my life, as I had felt that nothing is worth to go on living.
I was thinking of commiting suicide, because I lost my mom in Oct. of 2006. She was my back-bone, my friend, my everything. I have autism, and I am a highly functional autistic,but even so, I needed my mom to just be there for me. She had health complications with her heart, had a stroke, and passed away. She was 78. Judson was 28 months only. As I was reading Judson's story, I started comparing your loss to my loss. I mean every one's loss is tragic..but only then, I realized that it is not so tragic as to loose your little 2 year old, compared to my 78 year old mom, who had lived her life to the full. Only then it struck me that I should not commit suicide, as I read that you carried on, went on holiday --a thing that I have put entirely out of my mind, but just stay home all day, and staring into the computer for hours on end, contemplating what will I do next to make my pain go away, and thinking about how to end my life.
Judson's loss made me think different. Judson made me think that there is a reason to live, and to carry on.
Three weeks have passed that I read Judson's story. It is three weeks ago, that I have started going out, into the sun, at the beach, and just starting to live again.
Every time I go take some flowers to my mom, I put, and ALWAYS will put, next to my mom's flowers, a white rose-bud, for your little BIG man Judson, who remained a little rose bud that has flourished in the arms of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Thank you JUDSON, for making me want to live again..which reminds me of Jesus, for with His death, He brought life to us, that we may live forever, an everlasting life, and that one day, you Jud, and your family, my mom and dad and I , will all be re-united, and then, I will come looking for you, and tell you what a GREAT little man you have been, because of YOU, through Jesus, I will see Him one day..and in my arms, I will be holding a BIG bunch of White rose buds, to give to you personally..
Thank you Judson, thank you Christina, Drake, and Jessie, for your wonderful boy, who made me see clearly how much I want to live again..
I am praying for you all, and keep on, like I am, even if we are half around the world, it matters not, our hearts and souls have the same feeling for our loss and beloved ones, and we will keep on, until THAT WONDERFUL DAY, when we shall all meet again..
I love you all,
with my warmest hugs, your friend from Athens, Greece,
Mary
i came a cross this page as i was on youtube and saw ur little boy singing i read all about the tory and it brought tears to my eyes and i hope you cope in the future
HI,
I stumbled across your 'Myspace' while researching 'Louisa Stead' for an upcoming hymn sing that we're going to do at our church near Pittsburgh, PA. When I put Louisa Stead's name in google, your Myspace was one of the hits. When I opened it up, I began reading about your son and was then led to this website.
You and your family have our prayers that Jesus will continue to give you strength and to just wrap His loving arms around you during your times of reflecting on Judson. Judson now knows a joy that we, as believers, can only imagine in this life. But one day, you'll be with him again and know that joy also.
God Bless you;

I just sat here for 4 hours straight reading Judson's Journey. God Bless your family, and your wonderful church home. Something has suddenly come up to where I can't continue what was on my mind to share with you. I will come back soon to complete my thoughts.
In Christ Love,
Tippi
Dear Christina, Drake and little Jessie,
I'm very sorry for your loss. I found Jud's video in youtube and followed the link to this site.
What happened to Jud and your family is really sad, but it should be a bit of a comfort to know that he's a little bright angel now in the arms of God.
Levasheff Family ~
I was reading through the OC Register and became instantly focused on a picture of such a beautiful little face...your Judson's face.
My niece was diagnosed in 1981 with Neroblastoma at 1 yr and went to God just a short 6 mos later ...on an angel's wings. I was drawn to Judson's website because I had to know the little person behind such a beautiful smile. I read and cried, smiled and laughed, read and cried, and smiled and laughed. How could you not laugh with this little comedian. His wisdom was way beyond his years, and Jesus was living in his spirit.
I haven't been so touched by such a young, saintly person since Mattie Stepanek (poet/peacemaker), who suffered with Muscular Dystrophy before Jesus took him.
Mattie's picture is up where I can see it and pray for his family....Judson's picture will now be next to Mattie's. What a beautiful little soul.
Judson truly was, and is a blessing in your life.
I am praying for you. Thank you for sharing Judson with me through this wonderful website. I love your family~
Much love,
Sarah
Hello, this is Sarah from New Jersey. I am thirteen years old and thanks to Judson, he has given me a pair of glasses to examine the world in a different and more fascinating way. It's remarkable when someone like Judson, can have strong faith in God at a young age. He has taught me to live life the fullest. Thankyou very much for letting me adventure through the heartwarming stories of Judson. I think that sharing it with others is a great way to show your unconditional love for Judson and appreciating God's gift to you. Judson is a handsome,strong,caring,loving...[too many words to describe him] boy. I very much look forward meeting him in God's hands.
God Bless You =]

This website is such an amazing tribute to such an amazing and delightful boy! We celebrate his life with you and we continue to grieve with you and for you. Thank you for letting us walk this journey with you and hopefully uphold you a bit along the way.
Dear Christina and Drake,
I found this web site from a Facebook posting and I have spent most of the morning in tears. I can't imagine the loss and pain you feel with each passing day away from your beautiful, gifted, FUNNY and spirited son. In just a couple of hours I have grown to love Jud. I have prayed and will continue to pray for your family as you try to move forward in this life.
My son is 12 months old and I feel Jud's story has served as a reminder to cherish my time with him and not get caught up in the "toddlerisms" that can drive a Mommy straight to the looney bin. I have played harder with him today than any other day as Jud has taught me to appreciate him that much more... and then some.
Your son is a miracle and he is touching the lives of people he never met. He is an inspiration and I will always hold your family in my thoughts and prayers. Thank you for sharing your story.
Much love,
Hilary Hale
It looks great!
What an incredibly horrible disease and experience you have endured! We had never heard of this disease. I'm sure God is blessing you for your strong faith and sharing that on this beautifully designed website. God has probably already used you many times to help others going through tragedies with their children---yet you are NOT without hope!! What opportunities for sharing the strength and peace that passes understanding that Jesus gives through the trials of this life.
God bless you, and I (Judy; I think you have met Rob) hope to meet you someday soon.
.. i have commented once before, and this boy just brought me to tears writing this now i am in tears, i am 13 years old and i saw this wesite alot of times ive watched the video so many times and just is so cute he is a beautiful intelligent happy boy who was cruelly taken away by Krabbe disease, i am overwhelmed by how intellengent he is he was 2 years old and coiuld sing dance and knows about all types of cars.. he knows his coulors and omg i just cant believe god would take away such an amazing gift . i feel for you strongly because writing this has me in tears so you as parents must be grief stricken. i hope to see jessie be big and strong and know everything about her amazing big brother. rest in peace sweet angel x Casey x
Dearest Levasheff Family,
What a wonderful, beautiful website in honor of Judson. I have followed his story since your first post on Caring Bridge and will continue. You do not travel this road alone. I too lost a son and know your pain and suffering.
I'd like to share something with you that I wrote for my son and read often and redicate it to Judson also.

Joey,
May Angels rest beside your door
May you hear Their voices sing
May you feel Their loving care for you
May you hear Their peace bells ring
May Angels always care for you
and not let you trip and fall
May They bear you up on Angel's wings
May They keep you standing tall
May They whisper wisdom in your ear
May They touch you when you need
May They remove from you each trace of fear
May They keep you from feeling greed
May They fill you with their presence
May They always stand beside you
and make you ever bold
May They teach you what you need to know
about life here and hereafter
May They fill you always with their love
and give you the gift of peace.
I Love You!
Mom

Though I did not have the pleasure of knowing Judson in person, I feel as though I did from watching his life unfold with the videos and stories you have shared. I also feel as though I have learned a lot from Judson's short, but beautiful life and that I continue to learn from him in his death. Judson should be an inspiration for all!
May God bless you all!

Drake and Christina,
Although I am young (12), I can understand many things. And I can understand how much Judson meant to you two. From watching the videos of him I would be proud to have him as a son. And it showed you really cared for him and was always by his side when he was ill. I pray for your family often.
Lots of love
Caroline
Drake and Christina,
My brother, Tim and sister in law, Meredith Barr who went to school with you at Biola sent me an urgent prayer email almost exactly one year ago. I have been praying for your family ever since and following Judson's story. You are an amazing testimony of faith and trusting in the Lord even when His ways aren't our desires. You have inspired me as a child of the King and also as a mom. Judson was such a beautiful little boy and I still watch his videos and weep! He reminds me so much of my nephew, Dylan Barr. Dylan is partially deaf and has some other special needs. He is smart as a whip, just like Judson was. Their looks and mannerisms are very similar. Thank you for sharing your grief, your family and especially Judson with us. My kids prayed so diligently for Jud. My 6 year old asked on a daily basis about him. His story has touched us deeply. Love, The Knox Family in Fallbrook, CA
Think (and pray)of/for your family regularly; have had Juds pics up since recieved. beautiful website- thanks for sharing. the best to your family. love Janet and family
Dear Christina and Drake,
Thank you for sharing your son with us and your journey. We don't know what to say except we think it is so wonderful that you have so many great pictures and videos of his precious life. It's a blessing to see him and your relationship with him. What a sparkle of a smile and endearing in all his ways. We can see and feel your love. We continue to pray for you and your parents. As grandparents, we look at you all and tears run down our faces. Reading alot about God's grace lately, and the old song comes to our hearts, "He giveth more grace..."
Our prayers and love for you all,
By His grace,
Mike and Judy Albin

Your little boy is adorable. He has to be the cutest boy i have ever seen in my life. My heart goes out to you. After watching all your videos I already feel like I knew him and had a relationship with him. I have watched all the videos over and over again becuase he is so adorable!!! It breaks my heart that God took him. The good news is that you will reunite with him one day, and I can't wait till I can meet him!!!
Thank you for crying out loud. Thank you for hurting publicly. Thank you for questioning it all and allowing me to watch. i still carry Judson's picture with me and keep it as a reminder that "He gives and takes away." You have given me the model of TRUE CHRISTIANITY: Remain faithful through it ALL, even when He takes away.
The Levasheff family are my Chritian hero's. You will be rewarded.
God Bless you guys. I truly look forward to watching Judson wrestle Drake in heaven.

What a wonderful story of Judson short life. He has touched many peoples life through his illness. Thanks for sharing this story to the world. A beautiful child created by our Lord. My prayers for continous strength.

Christina,
I have been reading your blog regularly for about a year. I prayed whole-heartedly for Jud's healing, and now I pray whole-heartedly for you and your sweet family. You are an amazing woman. Your walk through grief is something so real, and I have learned much from you.
I saw that you had linked to my blog in the In Memoriam section, and it took my breath away. I was so emotional when I heard about your little one and wrote that post. Jud is 6 months older than one of mine, and my Cooper shared a lot Jud's 2-year-old passions. It was impossible for me to look at your situation without wondering how it would feel if I were the one that was watching my baby suffer. Because of you - and because of Jud - I love my children better. Thank you for inspiring me.
I love your new blog and am honored that you continue to open up your story and let me walk beside you - if only in prayer. May God bless you and Drake and Jessie with much health and happiness in the years to come.
Love,
Amy
Hi dear friends! Jud's website is simply amazing! Hope to see you all soon.
Love,
Laura
Hi there. I love the website you made for your beloved son. I also have a 3 year old brother. I am 11 years old. God will always watch over him. You have a gaurdian angle watching over you. Don't be sad. Judson would want you to be happy. He would want you to have a fun life and enjoy it. Jesus wanted him early for a reason. Everything has a purpose. You will re-unite with judson soon. And i bet he will be happy to see you. What a pleasure it is to see the short life of a true blessing. What an angle. He's in a better place now. But always remember: he will always be on your shoulder looking after you-just like you did him. god bless you and your family. I hope to meet you one day. :)
We too have an angel in heaven named Andrew who passed away in 2005 from Sanfilippo Syndrome. We feel really blessed that God picked us to raise him even if it was only for 10 years. It is a very difficult path that you have been set on and none of us ever truly understand why we are choosen. This site is beautiful. I am so glad that Marsha e-mailed the link to me. You have all my prayers as you continue on your journey.

Hi,
Lynn and I are enjoying your great work of art. You have done an excellent job.
Judson has been an inspiration to all of us and he has inspired me to move ahead in finding answers to the riddles and problems. We do have our work cut out in getting into a place of "dealing with sickness".
We have a church history and many who walked ahead of us who have made more impact in this area.
I continue to hear about your visit from others in the healing rooms. Know that Judson was loved here.
Continuing in intercession for all of you, even G-Ma
Dear Levasheff Family,
Wow, what an amazing little man Judson was! Thank you so much for letting us have a small glimpse of his sweet life. We know the pain of Krabbe Disease all too well, our daughter Hadley was diagnosed in September 2005. I spoke with you all a few times and have kept you all in my prayers and still do. I have also had the privilege of meeting Judson's grandmother Marsha. What a great lady! You all are such an inspiration to us. Thank you again for showing us Christ!
Much love and Prayers,
Tara Lorg
Drake and Christy,
What an awesome website you have created in memory of little Judson. I love it! I have continued to read all of your blogs on "myspace" but will come to this site in the future. Thanks for sharing so much of yourselves as well as Judson.
Our pastor made a statement in church yesterday and you both immediatly came to my mind when I heard it. he said...."It does not matter the length in years of ones life but the quality of those years well lived" I am not positive that I am quoting it exactly but I am sure you understand the point. Judson lived his short life "well" and touched alot of people.
Thanks again for creating such a great website.
P.S. Bumpy says hello! He is doing great!
Your email came to me by surprise! I have checked the children's website to keep up with Riley, from Texas that has rare tumor cancer on his left arm and
arm was removed couple months ago. I guess that is
how you got my email, but I have to tell you taht I was SO blessed by your awesome testimonial website
about Judson. It is truly a huge testimony to
everyone that reads it and esp. Judson telling his
dad about JOB!! I will continue to pray for your
family and am sending the website on to many others!
God richly bless you!

Jud's a wonderful kid!
I accidentally bump into his singing of "Stars Spangled banner" and i instantly felt devastated when i found out that he actuallt died!
He's safe and very much happy in heaven though--
with that I'm sure....
|Wow a very nice website you have for your sons death. I really like everything you put on his website it really touch my heart. You dont know me but i seen the picture of your son at the cemetery .I always wanted to know about him .He is at the same cemetery my sister in law is.Well God Bless You.
What a beautiful web-site, and such a wonderful tribute to Judson! Thank you again for sharing your precious Jud with us. He will live in my heart forever. Words cannot describe how much your story has touched my life. The Lord bless you and keep your beautiful family until you can all be together again.
I watched some of the memorial service today and prayed for your dear family. What a fitting tribute to Judson - he was certainly a special boy who did more in less than 3 years to live for Jesus than many do in a lifetime. You were right Drake. It's better to ask God for too much than too little. God will bless your faith and make the coming years sweet as you look forward to eternity with your awesome son. Whoever designed your website did a magnificent job. Love you guys.
You don't know me, but I went to high school with Danielle...I knew Lori....and I grew up going to church with Sarah Hegenbart. Through my mom (friends with Lori) and the Hegenbart family, I have followed your difficult journey. I just feel so compelled to write you and let you know how my heart is breaking for you. I wish I knew Jud. He seemed so precious...so joyful...so full of life. And the two of you must be very special parents...you would have to be. God allowed you to be parents to Jud, even if it was for such a short time.
Jud's story will live on forever. Lives will forever be changed, including my own. You have made me realize what I have, what I take for granted, what I need to relish in and embrace each day. Thank you.
Though you will always feel a great loss, I pray that God will heal your hearts quickly..and though there will always be an empty hole in your heart...he will fill you with supernatural comfort that will get you through the difficult times.
Its his smile that proves God exists. He was and is a beautiful boy. You were greatly blessed.
I love the new website! The cars and trucks are awesome. I saw the memoriam of Jud in the Register today. Such a sweet boy!
Thank you for sharing your son's life with the us just how God did with his son Jesus. Trully God has purified your heart through fire.. God bless you.
Judson captured my heart. I don't know what words to share, but the fact that I am writing, I hope you know that it is because you have touched the very depths of my heart. Your story lives on and I feel honored to have been able to experience Judson's grace, and the true strength, faith and loyalty of your family, if only by the words and images on this site.
Thank you.
Drake and Christina: I know this is a difficult day. The Memoriam and this website are amazing tributes to Jud and to our Lord. Also, it truly shows how to be amazing parents to loving chilldren like Jud and Jesse. It seems so little to say we keep praying and are here for you in any way you need/want, but it's true. I just watched the Memorial Service again and am always sad but hopeful. I see how it's changed Sarah and the love of the mighty little Jud that will always be there. Your love of him and his love for you and others will live forever and touch thousands and millions of lives for Jesus. There will be a throng around him in Heaven to thank him and you for being their ticket to the greatest place for eternity where we will all see him face to face again and also our Lord--sooner than we can imagine.
Love, Gary Hegenbart

(Ps my first post did not come through. Sorry about that:)
WOW! Awesome awesome website! So glad you have this!!
This website is incredible!! So many photos, videos, and blogs... a treasure trove! I'm sure that this will be used to impact and bless many lives. Jud has left a vibrant legacy that must overwhelm you with pride, even while it remains bittersweet.
You remain in my thoughts day in and day out. May the Lord keep giving you enough mercy to live each moment and each day. You are greatly loved!

Dear Levasheff Family,
It is again an honor to be able to be a part of sharing memories of your son Jud, now on your newly adapted page!What a fabulous job, and how ever so heartwarming....every bit of it! We are all thinking of you daily, and are keeping you woven into our prayers throughout our days. You are so often in our thoughts and upon our hearts! Hope to see you guys again too, sometime soon! Love, Stevenson Family
My first meeting of Judson was on YOUTUBE, I believe it was...I was so taken by this little boy who was singing The Star Spangled Banner...I didn't realize what his health condition was at the time...I didn't need to know...I just thought his singing was so sweet...and him so darling with those big beautiful brown eyes!!! He reminded me of my great nephew, Ronnie Adkisson. Judson will always be in my memory...God bless you all!
Thanks you all for inviting us to continue to celebrate Judson's life and join you all in the journey of his loss. This site is really special.
-Johanna

Speechless! What a beautiful website! Words simply don't do justice...LOVE you guys!
The website looks wonderful! My 4 yo and I just watched a couple videos and she giggled through them. Judson's smile and laugh are so contagious.
