Jennie Stein Luke says
As I’m writing this I have tears streaming down my face! Mandy was bar none one of the most amazing people I’ve ever had the fortune of knowing! She was the sunshine through the rain! Just truly one of the best people to have been blessed with being able to call my friend! She was loyal, kind hearted beyond words, honest and just an old soul at heart!!! She made me genuinely smile every time I ever saw her. I don’t know how, but she ALWAYS knew just what to say to me and just when to say it. She just had something about her that from the moment we met (decades ago), we just knew we would be friends forever! I’ll miss Mandy more than words can say… I just keep telling myself that I was so fortunate to have had her in my life. It just feels so wrong to have lost her at such a young age! God really took one of his angels back home when he took her that day. She was one in a billion! She will be missed by so many people! My heart goes out to the family! I know how devastated I am about this… I can only imagine how heartbreaking it’s been for the family! If I can in any way help the family with anything at all, please don’t hesitate to ask me. RIP Mandy Forrest…
I LOVE YOU FOREVER AND A DAY!
