Extending my condolences to the Forest Family,
Sending love, hugs and hope that your many wonderful memories will always keep your wife and mom always close to your heart and ever in your thoughts. Jeff just let me know of your mom’s passing; what a rush of wonderful memories of times spent with the extended family of the Gene Johnson’s at Lake Miltona and at Uncle Gene’s and Aunt Elaine’s! One of the last times I had the pleasure of seeing your wife/mom, and you/your dad, was at lunch with my parents, Aunt Elaine and Jeff at Salut on Grand. What struck me that day, and what I recall now, was the compassion and caring she expressed and showed for others. What a beautiful, beautiful lady; she truly blessed the world with her presence. With Deepest Sympathy, Gretchen Peterson
We are sincerely sorry for your loss. It’s never easy to lose a loved one under any circumstance. Please be assured that Jehovah God is aware of your pain and he is near to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18). The bible promises us that there will be a resurrection (John 5:28, 29) and that God will bring an end to death once and for all (Revelation 21:4). From that point on we will never have to feel the pangs of death again. We pray these words and scriptures are able to bring you some comfort.
