Judy was an extremely good listener and friend. She heard what you said and knew just what to say. I so wish I was able to spend more time with her.She is missed now by so many people that loved her. Rest in peace now Judy.

Judy's smile could light up any room she went into. I am blessed to have known her for over 30 years and she will be truly missed. Among many of her special traits was her wit and ability to read people for silent clues as to how they are feeling. Judy spent many an hour listening to my worries about my parents' divorce when Jeni and I were in middle school. Her genuine concern mixed with her sense of humor helped ease my pain so many years ago I always knew she had an open ear when I needed one. She always knew when I needed a laugh back then, and more recently too, as we sent funny internet stuff to each other over the past few years. But God obviously needs that Judy spunk more up in heaven than we do down here. RIP We will miss you.

I was very fortunate to have had the opportunity to communicate with Bob & Judy when they were living in Mexico. They truly were extraordinary people who sacrificed so much for so many. Now they are finally together again, in a much better place, for all eternity. Thank you, Judy, for everything you did. I will never, ever forget you or Bob.

Though I never met Mrs. Chapman in person, I was able to experience her grace and humanity in our only conversation that occurred the day after Bob went to be with his creator. I pray those who knew the Chapman's closely will share their experiences so that we who did not will understand what true blessings they were to us all. Walk Sacred,

Bob was my mentor and Judy was my counselor. They were always a pair, I could have never appreciated one without the other nearly as much. I last talked to them in February 2012 just before my second (redo) open heart surgery which failed. I don't know why I'm still here and they are not but there must be some good reason. During that last talk, I told Bob that I would wait for him and Judy at the golf course beyond this existence - turned out they are waiting for me. Although the battle here, in this incarnation, still remains for all of us who were made aware by Bob and Judy, it seems to me that the eventual outcome will remain the same. We all will meet again and laugh about all our mutual battles and problems while continuing our discussions and solutions. The purpose of all the incredible pain, sacrifices and challenges in this life will become clear to us in ways we can't imagine. And after all our laughing, crying and talking we will head off to that golf course where our tee time will be waiting for us. Until then, I will continue to miss both of them terribly.

A true conservative, and patriot, Judy, or Babci as we called her, always wore a warm, gentle smile. She had such a sweet, comforting way about her. The times I have spent with her, were times that brought me comfort, and a feeling of such exceptance. From the very first time we met, Judy treated my family, and myself, like we have known each other forever. In her presence, I felt the warmth of having a mom again, my daughter felt the warmth of having a grandmother once again. Judy will be deeply missed. Matt and Jen, what extraordinary people you are! You are proof that there are still great people out there. While there are no words to ease the loss of Babci, I want you to know that we are grieving with you, and thinking of you constantly.

It was with great sadness that I learned of the passing of Judy Chapman. She and her husband, Bob Chapman, and I spent many hours on the phone between broadcasts. We will all miss you Judy Chapman. The Chapmans have certainly changed the lives of millions of those who read the International Forecaster and listed to Bob on-air. I miss you Judy Chapman.

Although I never had the opportunity of meeting her in person, I came to know Judy through our correspondence. She was always warm, thoughtful and generous, and her love of her family came through in her words and her work. She will be deeply missed, but her kindness will continue to live on through the lives of those she touched.

She was a kind and loving lady that has left us too soon and will be missed but never forgotten.
Rest in peace, Cioci Judy . Love, Laura

Jeni, I know you will miss both your mom and dad dearly every single day. It was a real honor to have known each of them. It was also an honor to have known and listened to Dr. Stan Monteith. I have learned so much from each of them. They were all true patriots and/or true Colonial Americans. IMHO, the best way to remember and honor them is to continue in the spiritual battle and in the fight to restore our Constitutional Republic. That is what they fought and died for. Let us continue in that fight remembering them. Remember the Alamo. In the Spirit of our Founding Fathers and in the Spirit of 1776 onward we go.

I didn't know Judy, but she had to have been a beautiful lady - she chose Bob. Our thoughts and prayers go to Judy's sister, son, and daughter Jeni. Jeni continues Bob's International Forecaster http://theinternationalforecaster.com/

Jeni,

your mom and dad were very special people, folks I truly admired. I was blessed to know them, and like you, I miss them. But they're in a better place now, together again as they should be.

Judy, Judy, Judy (in a Cary Grant manner),.....I remember saying that to you and we just giggled...Bob and you changed my life to which I am forever grateful and only through God was that possible. God really does bring special people into our lives...and the Blessing continues with your wonderful Daughter Jenifer. Rest In Peace My Friend.

My Dear friends Judy and Bob Chapman are once again together and now in perpetuity. Judy will be missed indeed and my heart, in sympathy and condolence, reaches out to their family in the spirit of love and support at this time.

Judy Chapman, and her husband Bob, were two of the most gracious people I have had the pleasure of knowing. They are both terribly missed. I can honestly say that the world was a much better place with them in it. I will miss their honesty, sense of humor and caring nature. I am comforted that they are at peace with the Lord and look forward to seeing them in God's kingdom. Wendy Wilson
