    Several times when 4-yr.-old Pierce visited Judy, she would bring him to our Sunday School. In later years, she substituted numerous times when one of our regular teachers was out. She was a wonderful friend, neighbor and political advisor and we will miss her greatly. May the Lord Jesus comfort you as only He can.

    We are rejoicing that Judy is now with our Savior Jesus Christ. She was an amazing Christian! When she saw a need, she got involved. Judy was a special friend to our family. She got Bob involved in politics in 1986 where he served nine years as a Council member and fifteen years as Mayor. She was a very dear friend who worked tirelessly for any thing she believed in. She always had the best interest of Farmers Branch in everything she did. A bright light has gone out!

    What a wonderful pleasure to be able to care for such a special lady. A lady who cared for others and was always willing to minister to anyone who crossed her path. We had so many adventures and fun times, so much laughter. At her age of 87 if she heard of a need, she was trying to figure out how she could help. Even in her affliction, she was still trying to do good to help others. She loved all her family and talked of each one often.
    She loved her Church and went to service the Sunday before she went to Heaven to meet her Lord. I was truly blessed to care for Judy.
    My love and prayers that God will give each of you the comfort and peace that only He can give. Reba Schafer
