Our deepest sympathy and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Gain strength from each other and cherish the memories of your time with Mr. Forrest. This is one of our favorite scriptures in the Bible that brings us comfort. “ Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” Isaiah 41:10
Isn’t this encouraging? YES, it is!!!
