Dawn, Becca, Erin and Allison, To say that we are deeply saddened, and shocked is such an understatement. Our heartfelt prayers and thoughts are with all of you at the loss of a husband and father. The only joy we can take at this time is to know that
Tim is now with Jesus. We are assured by the thought that he was welcomed home with outstretched arms and a loving kiss and a chorus of "Well done GOOD and FAITHFULL servant"!

To the Family of Tim Judge: I knew Tim only briefly and not very well, but he was a fellow MDOT TSC Manager. I beleive I first met him at an AASHTO Training Seminar a number of years ago. I was stunned to hear of his sudden passing as I had just seen him
the previous week in Lansing at our Realignment Meeting. It is my prayer that the Lord will Bless you and keep you all during this most difficult and trying time.

Dear Dawn, Becca, Erin, and Allison, May God hold you close in the shelter of his arms as you grieve the loss of your dear husband and father. God gave you such an incredible, special man in your lives. May you find comfort in that. Psalm 46:1 "God is
our refuge and strength. An ever-present help in time of need." You will be in our prayers. With a heart full of love to you, all the Judge's and the Brunner's, John and Janet Snider
