Thank you Aunt Judy for the fond memories of all of the fun times with all of the cousins in the back of your station wagon heading for the beach, Greenlake, the movies, the zoo or just to your backyard pool. You were such a bright light in all of our lives. I cherish all my memories of you. I hope that you are swimming once again in a place as beautiful as you are. 💕 You will be missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing you.
Sending lots of love and huge hugs to all of you! When I think of my Forrest family (I’m of the Mike and Joyce branch), Aunt Judy was usually who popped into my mind! I love that we share the same middle name! I didn’t know/remember that and always wondered where the spelling came from and thought it had to have had a special meaning, now I know! I always remember Aunt Judy’s sweet smile, and how she included us kids in everything, and because of that how I consistantly felt seen by her! She was so full of life and will be truly missed.
Thank you Mom. Thank you for always being your true self and encouraging others to do the same. Thank you for giving life and love to us all and being so selfless. Thank you for never giving up on anything or anyone and always seeing the positives in people even when they couldn’t. I love and appreciate that you are my Mom. I am so thankful that I had such an amazing woman like you as my guide through life. I hope that you are proud of the woman that you are 💜 I definitely am, I only hope that I told you I appreciate you enough
I will miss you Aunt Judy! Robert and I have fond memories of you and Uncle Virg. You were the ones that told us that the Forrest Family bet Robert and I(Lynn Forrest Williams) wouldn’t make it ,married,more than 5 years. And here we are still married. I still remember you and Virg. As a young family as my family, Mike and Joyce were. Thank you for your encouragement to Robert and I!!!

We met Judy in 2020. She would walk by our house every day and stop by for a visit. She loved to be part of the action. Matt and Suzy gave her excellent care. She will be missed.
You were definitely one of a kind!!
