    The news of the profound loss of your wife, mother, and grandmother was extremely difficult to hear. I was a nurse with her at the Medical Surgical clinic. I enjoyed working with her very much. She was kind and conscientious in everything she did. I remember her talking about her husband, her children. All wonderful things. She was a very special person and I never forgot her. Im so sorry for your sorrow. Cherie Caine.

    Growing up, the boys would sit on the Schopf’s front steps and Glen’s little sister would always show up with a girlfriend or two. We knew that Judy and one of the guys would eventually get together and Bill was the lucky guy. Many, many fond memories of those days and of Judy in particular. She will be missed by many and in particular, her immediate family. God bless Judy.

    So sorry to hear that Judy is no longer with us. She was my co-worker at the Franklin clinic. She will be deeply missed at our luncheons. Condolences to Judy’s family.

    Saddened to hear of Judy’s passing. So many wonderful memories of growing up together — youth group, walking to school, prom, etc. She will continue to live in my heart forever.
