I am saddened to hear of my cousin Forrest's death. Although we have not had contact for decades, I certainly have thought of him and all of you at times over the years. Would certainly like to re-establish a connection with you Martha, Rene and Kerrianne-- and to get to know you Denise, Sam and Jamie.

So sorry to hear of "Fro" 's passing. He was a real hoot and a memorable character from our Peachtree High School days. Right after my Mother passed in 1996, Fro had come by my folks home asking for me, but didn't leave any contact info. I've often wished we had reconnected. Loss is tough stuff, and I hope you have all the support you need to face it. Just lost my Dad and Brother last year, and it still stings. Bless you all and rest, Forrest, rest.
