Judy treated me with the love and affection of a Mother-in-Law and said that in time I would have been family marrying her daughter Janet Marie Forbes !!!

I am so sorry to hear of Judy's passing. I worked with Judy at Crestar and went to school with Neal. Judy was the most giving person. She had a heart of gold. I am sorry for your loss.
