To The Caston Family,
I was so sorry to hear of Mr. Caston's homegoing. I will miss seeing him at church, especially see him working in the kitchen. Our paths crossed often at the doctor's office during my Dad's illness last year. May God grant you comfort and keep you during this difficult time.

To the Family
of
Forest Caston, Jr.
I wish to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you. May the peace, love, and God's comfort encompass you at this time.
Forest was one of the nicest persons I have ever met in my life.
He kept me dressed sharp in Redskin gear even though he was a Cowboy Fan. He always got his cup of coffee when he came to the bowling alley.
He touched so many lives and you knew he was a child of God.
I say "Rest Forest your work is done for you are safe in the arms of God."
You will always be loved and remembered in our hearts.
Lucille, Peetie, Earl and Jean

Remember
Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the thoughts that once I had,
Better by far you should forget and smile
Than that you should remember and be sad.
