Philippians 4:11-13
“Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Revelation 21:4
"He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away."

"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

Many people have mentioned the students that she worked with and inspired. I am one of those lucky students. The attention, care and full presence she gave, helped me through some emotionally challenging times. I will be forever grateful for the friendship that blossomed and endured for 20 years after. Now you are at peace and pain free. You are very very missed. I will always love you.

In the three years the Broutmans lived three houses away from me, I was forever changed.
Judy and I became fast friends, playing all the childhood games, trying to climb her mother’s clothesline pole, riding in their station wagon sitting backward, and I nearly destroyed, however unintentionally, one of their Christmas trees — a tale I’m told she recounted every year at holiday gatherings.
Judy was extraordinary: insightful, caring, honest, smart. I aspired, however poorly, to be like her.
For her 60th birthday, I sent her a list of the things I remembered. It took a page and a half and was all good.
John, Leslie and Amy, there is nothing I can say that will make it better, but my heart goes out to you for the loss of this remarkable person.

I worked closely with Judy while she was the Behavior Resource teacher then the Guidance Counselor at Talbot Elementary School. She became a wonderful friend. I am having a hard time believing she is gone. Perhaps her loving spirit is with me. She will be very missed. Love to her family and especially JL.

I know Judy through her sister, Leslie. In many ways, I feel like I know her. She was a beautiful soul. Judy had immense courage of heart. Her amazing caregiving extended to so many.
There are so many lovely memories and these will live on forever. It is with joy that we know she is in the arms of God.......at rest.
My deep love and thoughts go out to all who miss her so. I am praying for all of you.

One of the sweetest persons, always with a smile on her beautiful face. Judy had a heart of gold and always put all her efforts forth for caring for those who meant the most to her. An angel in so many ways, for all the love and caring ways she extended to others she too was given the love and care by her own angels. Family meant the most and as we can see by all the wonderful photos shared here, Judy's heart was filled with so much love. JL, Leslie, Amy, Beth...I am so sorry for your tremendous loss. Hold dear the memories that you have and Judy will forever live on in your heart.
