We were hoping that we would be able to be with you all today to say goodbye to a wonderful man. However, due to the weather, we are snowed/iced in and are unable to make the trip. We will be thinking of you all today and remember that we love you all. You know if my Granny were still with us, she would be there regardless of the weather. Her brothers and sisters and family meant everything to her. May God give you all peace in the coming days and remember our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

My name is Susan Forrester White. My cousins know me as Susie. I am Lewis Forrester's oldest daughter. I have been out of touch with the Forrester family since my daddy passed away. I will always remember Uncle Coleman and Aunt Lois visiting us when my parents were alive. I wish I were able to be there with Aunt Lois and the family during this sad time. Please know that though miles separate us I still love all of you. In my heart I am there. I now live in Dothan, Alabama.
