Love and miss you Grandma

Our family had the privilege of knowing Forest for a short time when our Jennifer and Luke's lives came together. After meeting her and talking with her one Thanksgiving, I felt like I had known her for many years. She had a real zest for life and fun. I am extremely saddened by her passing and will miss her laugh and smiling face at these family/holiday events. Our lives have truly been enriched by the brief period in which we knew her. Our prayers and thoughts are with you all through this difficult time.

I will always remember Forest Rose because she was upbeat and compassionate. I have a lot of cousins who are a lot older than I am, but I never felt the age difference.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.
