Dear Sandy, Ali Dean, Savannah and Mace,
You are all in our prayers at this tragic loss. I remember meeting Forrest several years ago, full of energy and plans for the future. Words are inadequate to express our sorrow.

God works in mysterious ways, unknowable to us. We can only go forward taking one day at a time.

Sandy you have no reason to remember me, your Mother's cousin. We last met when my brother, Hank, and I visited your parents and our Uncle Linden about 2.5 years ago.

God bless you all.
