Forrest was my first "Padawan" in that old Star Wars card game. It's how we met. I am still heartbroken about a world without you in it, brother. I can't imagine a time when missing you won't still hurt.

Nothing is the same without you. So many different things, good and bad, have happened to me in the last couple months and I feel lost not being able to share them with you. You'll always be my best friend.

Dear Mark and Frankie, Forrest has been like family at my home. DJ is my son and we spent many evenings, eating and brainstorming over their future. He was always happy with us. I remember his happiness when he became a Manager for a local business. He was so proud of that job and himself. I will always remember him. And I am so sorry for your lost.

Dear Frankie,
Although I only met you once when you came down to Huntsville to drive with Connie back to Becky's...I am so deeply sorry for you and your family's tragic loss. I will keep you and all family members close to my heart.

I was deeply sadened to hear of the loss of Forrest.
He was a friend of my son , Joey, from high school days.
We always enjoyed seeing him and what a talker !
Forrest did some painting for us a few years ago.
He was eager to please and did a great job.
We lost our daughter a year ago this month .
I imagine they are talking up a storm as some of the newest
angels ! My deepest sympathy to your family.
I will keep you in prayer. Jeannie Ritchie
