Charles Forest Wright

Forest I wish I would have tried harder to see you at christmas. Not a day goes by that I dont think of you. I love and miss you so much! I still remember that day at Papaws when you told me you were goin in the marines and I told you I was proud of you cuz I knew what kind of a man you would become. When we talked at christmas this year you were braggin bout how you had more tattoos than me now, and I laughed and told you I would catch up soon. You and I could never resist a competition....

Forest,

As days past I seem to want to think that this is all just a horrible dream and that I will wake, but I realize that this dream is never going away. You were more than an amazing guy and more than a wonderful friend. You had all those special qualities about you. When I first came to Franklin County High School you were among the first to greet me and from there our friendship continued. We all want you back in our lives but sometimes we have to let go of the things we love...

LIFE IS NOT A MATTER OF COUNTING THE YEARS BUT THE MEMORIES LEFT BEHIND.MAY GOD BLESS YOUR FAMILY ESPECIALLY YOUR MOTHER AND FATHER. NO HURT IS GREATER THAN LOSING A SON!

I dont know your family but I am so sorry for their loss. but i want them to know that i am so grateful to them and you for what you gave to our country. I salute you and pray God will give them peace.God has took you home to peace.and isend all my love and prayers to your love ones thank you so much god bless.A miltary family.

I am sorry for the loss of your son. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I pray you find comfort and peace. I do not know your family or your son. But I am with you. Semper FI!

Another Soldier taken away from us. Thank you kind man for serving our Country. For making it a safer place.
When I see a military person I feel so proud because they are serving for us all here in the States.

My prayers go out to your family and friends. I know they are very proud of you and will alway love you.

Forest, I never met you but my grandson, Josh Shively is also a Marine and he served in Iraq with you. I understand you were one of his close friends. Thank you for serving God and country as a Marine. My sympathy and prayers are with your family.

there is no words to comfort you but may you take comfort in knowing that god is there with you each step of the way.our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I've been thinking since Sat. and still can't find the right words to say; I never thought I would have to try and find words as to how I feel while we were still young...I miss you Forest; I just wanna pick up my phone, call you and have you give me that famous laugh and tell me everything will be ok! But its not going to be ok, I need my best friend! I know you are in such a better place and you are now a wonderful guardian angel but I still miss you! I can't wait until the day that we meet...
