Keeping you all in our prayers.  Forrest will be missed by so many.  He had a smile that could light up your heart.  He was a role model for my boys when they needed one.  Love to you all.

Please accept my condolences for your loss. Forrest was always supportive and helpful, even during our recent loss when he himself was ill. He was a fine person, and I will miss talking with him.

Dearest Goostree Family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. We only found out this evening that he had passed and hate that we missed seeing you all and grieving at the visitation. I personally will always remember his great friendly smile and warm hand shake when we were rushing through the doors most Sunday mornings a few minutes late. He always had a warm smile to greet everyone and will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this time of grief and sorrow. I know he is in a wonderful place resting until we all meet again in heaven. Love to you all. 
Sincerely, The Harringtons

Brenda and family: I will forever remember the life of Forrest, what a loving, caring and giving person he was. He always made me laugh. What an honor to have met and shared many meals with such a gracious person. I will pray for you and your family that GOD helps fill your void. I a, very sorry for your lose.  Lynn Davis and family

Hello Goosetree Family,
You may not remember me, but my name is Candice Ramsayer (my maiden name is Davis). I am Lynn and Donald Davis' daughter and grew up going to Bethel.  I still remember Forrest.  I am sorry for your loss. In celebration of his life, I do have a memory to share...
I remember going to a Christmas event at Bethel when I was young and Forrest was dressed up as Santa Claus.  I could tell that it was him, but I still enjoyed it and have always had the memory of that.  He was a kind man and I hope you find solace in your favorite memories of him.

Take care,
Candice

Our deepest sympathy and prayers to Brenda and her family.  I only saw you guys on rare occasions because I live out of the area, but what a wonderful person Forrest was as well as all of his family.  May God be with your family during this time of your loss.  Both Forrest and Brenda were wonderful to my parents and I so appreciate your kindness and caring.

What a precious family!!  You all are so blessed to have had Mr Goostree for a husband, dad and granddad.  I've known your family since Lana and I were in kindergarten and have always thought "what a neat family".  You all love each other so much.  You get along, have fun together and always have each others back.  Your dad I know instilled so many wonderful things in each of you and his legacy will live on forever in all of you.  Love to you all always, Stephanie Bates

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Lana, my deepest sympathy for you and your family. The world was a better place with your Dad in it and I know how much you will miss him. Keep his memories alive for you know he is now in heaven with no pain or suffering. Love to you and all your family. You and your siblings were blessed to have a wonderful Dad.

Brenda and all of the family. Mr. Goose was one of a kind. Always even keel, the rock for many people. We will miss him at gatherings and his familiar places in the church but we know where he is going and that he will suffer no more. The next phase will be difficult, but your church family and friends will be there to help ease the pain. Your family is strong and will stick together and share this grief and his memory will be with you forever. God bless all of you. 

Love you guys, 

Robert
