To Wanda, Ranita, Ross and the entire Fortenberry family, I am so sorry for your loss. During my time in New Orleans your Father, and Rose made me feel so welcome. He had a warm loving spirit that is evident in all his children. He is in a better place now. Hold to that thought and remember the great father, grandfather,and husband he was. I will keep you in my prayers. Anthony E. Brown, Tampa,FL

Mrs. Rose, Wanda and the Fortenberry Family...You all are in our thoughts and prayers in the loss of a loving husband and father. May you rest in the memories of the fun, laughs, and cherished words of wisdom from Mr. Edwin. "I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." May God's peace be with you all.
