Aiko Forestall Obituary

She is survived by her daughters, Diane Morrison of Orlando, Laurie Kraft of Williston and three grandsons, Bradley Kraft of Williston, Derek Wallace of Virginia and Kevin Wallace of Virginia; one granddaughter, Breanne Kraft of Orlando, and many friends all of whom loved her dearly.
She was preceded in death by her loving husband, John J. Forestall. She will be remembered for her grace, kindness, her loving heart which never thought of herself, but of others. It is with heavy hearts we say goodbye until we are all brought home.
