Dearest Dr. LaForest,
To this day, the memory of our tele-health call lingers like a cherished melody, a tele-love chat that resonated through the vast distance of nearly 1,200 miles. In those shadowy moments of despair, your compassionate voice became a beacon of light, illuminating the corners of my heart that felt shrouded in darkness. Your words were like gentle waves, washing over me, granting me the strength to navigate the turbulent waters of my mother’s condition and embrace the journey ahead with grace. For the time you shared and the love you imparted, I will forever be grateful. May you rest in eternal peace, knowing you have left a profound mark on my soul.
With Love & Admiration,

What I'll remember most about my Uncle Fritz is his ultra cool laugh. He had a calm and cool way about him that left some mystery but when he laughed you got a glimpse of the other side of him! His kindness and sincere love were evident in how he dealt with those he cared about.
My most fond memory of him was when he took me Crabbing when I was 18. We had such a great time and the crab was delicious (Thanks Taunt Cicile 😉)!
Uncle Fritz, you will be missed tremendously, and I can't wait to see you in the paradise to come!

I and my family had the honor and pleasure of knowing Dr.La Forest and his entire family. In fact our daughter attended the same H.S.
Our family has always known Dr. Laforest as a kind and gentle man a devoted father and a husband who loved, his family and friends.
My wife and I sends our sincere condolences to the family and may God grant them strength, hope and love during this most difficult time.
Sincere and profound sorrow for your loss.
Mr. and Mrs Bruce Kirkland and family.
I didn’t get a chance to meet you sir 🥹 but your daughter is my sister in law. She is the epitome and text book definition of a sister. You raised a wonderful woman. I am so sorry to the family and pray you all find comfort in knowing the suffering isn’t prolonged and that you will be seen again.
Relevation 21:4- And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.
Love,
Alice Milsap
