Sometimes teachers teach students and sometimes students teach teachers. This was the case with Judy and I. I was Judy's home room teacher at MHS. As a school we worked with the Salvation Army to adopt families at Christmas. Judy was, without a doubt, the leader in our classroom for this project. She organized bake sales, reminded other students of their commitment to donate and organized our shopping crew. On the way to deliver the gifts-- which under Judy's leadership were well beyond any expectation that I had, she tapped me on the shoulder and said something I will never forget. She said, " Mrs. Bindus, this is just like when people used to bring gifts to me and my family." I was stunned. For some reason I assumed that Judy had always has what she needed and more, and her tenacity with this program centered on the obligation to give when you had the means. However, when I thought about what Judy herself had given the reality was she gave herself, her skills and energy-- which resulted in others giving the gifts and food we were about to deliver. I have shared that moment many times as testimony of the power of one. One courageous person, sharing the gifts God has given them to change the world. I can only imagine the amazing impact Judy had on the rest of the world as an adult, given how powerfully she worked to change the world as a teenager. She has and always will have a special place on my heart.

I’m so sorry to hear of Judy’s passing. I met Judy a few times throughout the years while she was seeking licensure to become a foster parent. Judy had such a strong desire to parent. Her children were her pride and joy. My knowing of Judy was brief but her zest for life and her love of God is what I will forever take with me. My prayers are with Jeremy and her children.

Disbelief is the only word that describes what I am feeling at this time. That is not the word I will use for this tribute though. The word that comes to mind about this beautiful soul is "Persevering."
I met Judy through her husband Jeremy in The Salvation Army. I first had a friendship with her husband, but soon after began my journey with Peanut. You might be asking "Peanut?" What does this guy mean? Well... I will be glad to explain....
After I got to know both Jeremy and Judy as a couple, it was clear that these two wanted to be in ministry. While at Echo Grove camp, I asked Jeremy and Judy if they would be interested in Assisting me at the Flint Tabernacle Salvation Army. They, without hesitation said "yes."
After a few months of being in Flint, Jeremy and Judy were trying to have a child, then potentially adopting all while trying to become Pastors. Perseverance is my word because I seen this amazing couple struggle but struggle with hope and faith. Their faith persevered though all things. Their marriage was strengthened by that perseverance.
Peanut? While at their apartment in Davison, we were watching a movie. Judy was chilly. She had Jeremy toss a blanket over to her to keep warm. The blanket was light brown. As you know, Judy was not a six foot girl. She wrapped that warm brown blanket around herself and then I began to chuckle. She asked me why I was giggling. I said you look like a little peanut right now. She said "What?" I said "well you do." She said "for now on I will be your little peanut."
This amazing peanut of an angel overcame more and more obstacles in her life than most of us ever will. This was just a brief overview of one moment in time. She had challenges before and after Flint, Michigan. The beauty of it is... she was able to overcome most of them. Evidence is in her husband and children whom loved her with everything they were and are.
Judy (my little peanut), please know I loved you even though I was not involved in your life for sometime now. My heart aches with your family and friends. God has truly inherited a beautiful persevering angel in His Kingdom.
Jeremy and family, thank you for allowing me to have even a small part of Judy. For that, I will eternally be grateful.

I remember meeting you for the first time. I knew you loved me and Amelia and domanick as soon as I saw you walk in. I was scared at first but the more we spent time together the more I knew you and dad were our true parents. I love you though we've had our moments I never stopped loving you. You cared and loved me like a mother should. You are true mother and I love you. I understand now why you were so hard me. Sometime it takes the worst to happen before you realize what's most important. I love you so much and Im gonna do what I can for my sister and brother. I'm going to grow up and be successful like u always knew I would be. Your an inspiration rather you know it or not mama. I love you and I'm going to miss you! Watch from heaven as your children grow

I don't have a story, because there are many to tell. What I do have is an impression. Judy loved people, and making their day. Many may describe her as outspoken and fearless. There are many people who can testify how she was generous and loving. Her defense mechanism was to retreat inside if she was hurt by someone she respected, and to let you ha e it when you needed it..in every sense. But the legacy I believe she would want to leave is simple.... Love God, love others and love yourself. Now, in respect to those she invested in with time, treasure or by example make it count for something..

I remeber when i broke my elbow at the church and everyone was flipping out and i was at mercy and they sent me to a hospital in teledo ohio. The only person i wanted to see was judy,the only person i wanted at the doctors with me was her when i got my stiches out and she was even there talking me trough the doctors appointment when they took the pins out. There was also another time where i was in the hospital and i was in there for about a week and she stayed with me the while time.she never left my side. This women was my aunt, bestfriend, another mom, my shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold when i was going through my hardest times. We had plenty of fights in our days together but in the end i know i will always have her in my heart and i know that she loved me and she wi ll be looking down on me,still helping me. Its just going to be differnt. Tuesday was one of the hardest days of my life, im glad that i was able to be there holding her hand through it like she would hold mine. Judy i love you and i want you to know that you will never be forgotten! Love you!

Jeremy West family, my thoughts & prayers go out to each of you as you mourn the loss of your beloved, wife, mother, daughter in law, cousin, relative or friend. She has left many memories of the lives of those she touched. She may be gone from this earth but rests in the arms of her Heavenly Father. She leaves memories and has left footprints on the hearts of those she touched. Rest assured that one day you will be reunited in heaven, she will not longer be in any pain & will be so glad to see you again. As the days go by, a song, a place, a statement or a memory will bring her to mind, you may shed a tear or even a smile & thank God for bringing those to mind. Know how much people care about you all, and you have many people you can lean on. Remember when days get tough that God is there to carry you, when things get hard rest in the Fathers arms. Judy will be missed, but will remain in hearts forever. Love you, Pam Werner

Judy was an amazing beautiful women and left a huge impact on my life. I will never forget the times I've shared with her. Judy and Jeremy were like my second parents growing up, more like my Godparents. They've been apart of my life since I was a small child, and they've helped me grow into a women of God. I will never forget everything they have done for me. I love you Judy and your memory will forever be cherished!
