Vera and all my 1st Cousins that don’t know me very well. Sad we had to visit under these conditions. Since I was very young Forrest and I spoke on the same wave-length about Harley Davidsons, tractors, old cars and the like. I remember when I was 10 or 12 he took me on my first H-D ride through town on a blue Duo-Glide Panhead. Mama was terrified. But Daddy let me go and I felt like I had wings. I have loved them since.
Me, Lisa and the girls will keep you in our prayers because I know Forrest is greatly missed. Gary

Oh, Vera – I am so sorry I was not able to attend this past weekend. I was out of town visiting my parents and did not return until afterward. Forrest was a much-loved friend of Lee’s and helped us out when we set up our new “housekeeping” on Bob’s Creek. He will be fondly remembered! I hope to visit you soon.
I am very sorry for your loss. My prayers are with the family.
