Condolences & Tributes

Add A Condolence

To the Forbes/Singleton families' You all will FOREVER hold a very special place in my heart. I will never forget Cora scolding me about being shy and timid, especially when it came to eating. Her words, " You can't keep eating like a baby bird if you want to fly like an eagle"! Thank you Cora, I eat everything in sight now and I STILL weigh pretty much the same but everyday that God gives me breath..... I SOAR!! Forever love, Denise Vickers-Leon

Dear Family,

You are in our thoughts and prayers. Love you.

The CT, FL, & PA Brooks Family

Cousin Cora I know you are in a better place now but I wish I'd had the opportunity to spend time and got to know you more in the past. Your aunt who was my mom late Ethel Lee Brooks often spoke of the Nash and Forbes families when I was growing up. I've had the pleasure of meeting some of the Forbes family growing up over the years and keep in touch with them from time to time. You will always be in our hearts and I know you will be watching over us until we meet again. Love you cousin Cora....James & Bernarda Brooks

Aunt Cora, your memory lives on in myriad ways...Bonnie and I share your birthday; you made me creamy bowls of oatmeal after-school; the taste of your delicious pies made Thanksgiving special; nobody but nobody cleaned and decorated a house the way you did. You will be missed and always be loved... Marcia C. Forbes

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
