Dear Jean, Curtis, Kevin, Tisa, Denise, Jaime, you were blessed with a wonderful husband and father that loved life, laughed easy, worried little and loved his family. You will always feel his presence around you. Love Charlee

All DeForests are in my thoughts and prayers. I have a fun memory of talking and laughing with Mr. DeForest at Tisa and Lou's wedding celebration. When I was hanging out at the DeForest house in the 80s, he often shared his practical wisdom when Tisa and I were trying to come up with three-point plans to accomplish some goal we'd set. My sincere condolences. Love, Karina

Dear Jean, Denise, Tisa, Jamie and Kevin - I am so sorry for your loss. D.C. was such a nice, happy and wonderful man who enjoyed life, but at least he got to see some incredible Odell Beckham Jr. one-handed catches before he left us. He will be missed by all. Love you guys. xoxo

Dear Jean,
I am bursting with thoughts of you. For Curt to be gone is just so sad.
I know he's already in Heaven, but will continue to pray for him and you.
Love, Diane
