Dear Family:
When I moved to Colorado Springs in 1969, I started to attend Palmer Park Congregation thereby met Forrest and his family. Forrest was a great help to me and a fine example of a servant of Jehovah. I am saddened, but hopeful because all of us will see Forrest again. What a loving God Jehovah is! My prayers are with the family.
