North Little Rock, AR Monday, July 7, 2014 Dear Lisa,Along with Angie, I am also a Tuesday girl at Dr. Baltz's office. I'm pretty sure Jimmy and I started chemo at about the same time. Mr. Jimmy was a very sweet man. I enjoyed visiting with him on Tuesday mornings. I work for the electrical union, so we talked a lot about unions. I have been praying for Jimmy and will continue to pray for you.

North Little Rock, AR Monday, July 7, 2014 I want to let the family, especially Lisa, know how very sorry I am for the loss of Mr. Forrest. I have prayed for him since we met a year ago. I had the pleasure of spending every Tuesday morning over the last year with him at Dr. Baltz's office. He and Lisa were ALWAYS the first ones there. Room 1 was always for him. He was a character, to say the least. He never lacked for something to say and he will definitely be missed by all of us who shared our Tuesdays with him. Lisa you will continue to be in my prayers and you will be missed as well. I am thankful that I got to know both of you.Bruce Brown

Little Rock, AR Sunday, July 6, 2014 Dear Linzy, Lisa & Timmy,I have good memories of staying with Carol Jean and Dixon and being with Jimmy and Timmy in our early childhood years. I remember Jimmy as being both kind and fun and he remained true to my memories of him whenever we had the opportunity to reconnect. I am saddened that he has left us so soon.
I won’t be able to be at his services and am so sorry to miss the opportunity of visiting with you all and celebrating Jimmy’s life with you. I know your hearts are hurting and pray that you find comfort and peace in the love that remains.
My heart, hugs, and love are with you all,
