Our memories of Forest—James and Jordan Boulanger`s big cousin while they were growing up; always helpful; never condescending. Attending many family functions with the Boulangers over the years; Forest was always there; always had a smile and was friendly and polite; even during those teen and young adult years when he probably could have been somewhere else. Deer hunting with Forest, Grandpa Bob, and James; lots of walking; no deer; no complaints from Forest. Grandma and Grandpa Boulangers 50th wedding celebration where everybody was impressed with the music provided for Forest's band; lots of music that everybody enjoyed both young and old. We will miss you. Our hearts go out to you, Cathy, Rob and Micha.

Forest... You are so loved. The joy, love and music you brought to the world will be greatly missed . Your music will live in the hearts and souls of many people know to you and many more shared by your family... I grew-up with your father and uncle, it's through them that I have grown to love you and the beautiful music you play... It's time to show the Angles how to play the Sax...

Rob and Cathy and Micha and all your family,
We are all still in shock here at Rob's work, and this week has all been given to tears and thoughts of you all. You have such a beautiful extended family, and especially this week we feel so strongly how you are also part of the treasured fabric of our WFRC family. Our hearts are with you in this terrible tragedy, and we will all be here with you as time goes on. I know there is nothing that can soothe this now, but I wish you all some peace in knowing you still have a big loving family,

Though nothing can ease your pain. Forest will always be with you in memories shared and in your heart. May he find peace through those who loved him and were truly friends. He is playing in a greater band than any of this earth. May his music be the light that carries you forward.
Condolences to all that knew him and are saddened by this tragic loss of a good young man.

Rob, Cathy and dearest Micha,
Losing a father unexpectedly is very hard; we all live knowing our parents are going to pass on one day before us, we expect it; somehow losing a child before our time has come seems almost cruel and unimaginable; incomparable even. I think when we lose someone this close to us, there will always be that hole in our heart where they continue to be missed, loved, cherished although somehow eventually the pain lessens a little over time, I don't know if it ever really goes away? I am so sorry for what you are going through. I wish there were something more we could do from here, for you all. I love you guys.....my thoughts and prayers are with you, and you will be together again one day; and then your heart will be whole again. Until you are together again......

To the Jackson Family,
Our deepest condolences from the Herriman And Noyes families. It is always a tragedy when a child transitions on, before we parents get to go ahead and make the way for pur children. In your case, Forest will be making a way for you. Until you are together again, trust that he is in good hands, and he will be missed here on earth. May you have peace in your grieving process.
Dan Herriman,
