Katy, I love you and you are in my prayers
always.
Forrest sincerely loved everyone. And we all loved him back. He had a servant's heart. He would give a stranger the shirt off his back and loved ones anything they needed, from his time to his wallet.
He will be dearly missed until we see him again.
