We wanted to plant a tree in memory of our friend Martha. She was my dearest friend. She picked me up every Tuesday morning to go walking at the gym. She will be greatly missed. I´m glad I told her regularly that I loved her and was glad to have her as my friend. Love and prayers Earl Dunnahoo & family

Rev. Martha was truly a hero and someone i will always admire. She was my very 1st pastor and one of the 1st people to show me what live regardless of race, color, background meant. Her whole family has and will always hold a special place in my life and in my heart. She was truly a woman after God's heart and a true woman of strength. Rev. Martha your legacy will continue to live on in all those you blessed with you life and your spirit..... love you always, Bethany

Our sincere condolences to the family. When Rev. Martha came to CGUMC we were not just a congregation - we were "family", adults and children alike. We worshipped and played together, both church and non-church activities. One of my fondest memories was of my daughter Rashida walking to church every Sunday. Everyone loved Rev. Martha. My last memory of her, was her and Robert's attendance at my surprise 60th birthday party. It was so good to see them both. She was a beautiful soul and never...

Martha was a one of a kind minister. I was in a group she led of recently ordained clergy. She had a huge impact on my life as a clergy woman, no doubt the most influential pastor in my ministry. I never told her how much she meant to me, I sure wish I had done so. Rest in peace, my friend.

Rev. Martha Forrest was an authentic woman. She pastored Cedar Grove UMC in her own unique way and this encouraged our young people to feel included in the CGUMC family. Rev. Martha had her unique style of dressing: cowboy boots and Reebok high top tennis shoes. I loved that she could minister so effectively by being her true self. My family: husband, Cee; son, Derrick and daughter, Bethany truly felt that Rev. Martha welcomed us a part of her family. We will miss Rev. Martha. Shirley Jones...

Condolences to Sue, Steve, and all of the family. We will always remember the personal in home invite from Martha to attend Cedar Grove UMC the year of 1981. Because of Martha´s love we learned the love of Christ and joined the church where we are still members. We thank God for placing Martha in our lives. We loved her so much! We will always have a special memory of her in our hearts. God bless the family from Bernard and Sharon Kelly.

Martha Forest was the Pastor at Cedar Grove Methodist Church when my family knew her. She was our Pastor and friend. She performed the marriage of 3 family members including mine and my brother´s along with my Uncle´s. All marriages lasted until the death of my husband and my brother. She also officiated my Father´s funeral. George Russell. My Mom & her played tennis together also. Our thoughts and prayers are with all her family. She was a special person and we thought so much of her. ...

My sincere sympathy. Martha was a dear friend. With love, Doris Russell
