We have lost a very special person. Growing up it was like having two fathers and what a kind person who would listen to your problems and help you when you needed it. Christmas memories would always include Forrest and Margie. Fond memories I will always cherish. To me we lost an icon. His drive and spirit have helped mold me into what I am today, but I will never hold a candle to him, he was the greatest. Forever Santa Claus!

Margie and Forrest were always like fill-in grandparents to me. I've known them the majority of my life and both mean a great deal to me. Until we meet again in heaven, Margie and Forrest will have a special place in my heart.
