So sorry for your loss! I will miss talking to Forrest at Rosewood. He always remembered my mom and that she was over 100 when she passed.

It was my privilege to work with Forest for 9 years. He was bright and cheerful and always kind to his younger co-workers. Forest was typical of our Greatest Generation.
