Forrest was a very special friend. She was my mothers first friend at Magnolia Springs. My mom moved there in Oct and Forrest was the first person to help her get adjusted to her new life. They were table mates and Forrest would come to my mothers room and sit and visit when she wasn't feeling well. She taught her how to use the laundry room facilities and became a very special friend to both myself and my mother. We miss her greatly and she will always be very special to us both. Love you Forrest..heaven certainly gained an angel. .

What a dear, sweet lady. I was so fortunate to have her as my St. Matthews next door neighbor for 10 years. I will always remember having hot tea and wedding cookies with her at Christmas. Heaven has gotten a special new angel! Love you Forrest...
