Jennifer Lynne Forbing - Online Memorial Website

Dear Jeni,

Every year about this time I’m reminded of you without trying.  When the excitement of the holiday settles down, then out of the blue, there you are in my thoughts.  I never knew you much past the age of 8 or so, but you will always have a place in my heart forever.  Whenever I was feeling down you could somehow see past my exterior.  With sincere concern for my wellbeing you would talk to me.  I needed that.  I remember the time we got Christmas trees one year in my pickup truck.  You didn’t want me to be alone so you rode with me.  That meant more to me than you will ever know.  I'll never forget you.

Your friend,
Walt

With her beautiful, innocent smile, she has transformed into a dream — a vision, dressed in a white gown.

Jennifer Forbing, a devoted and adored daughter, sister and friend passed away on October 28th, 2006 in Winder, GA. Jennifer was born in Fort Wayne, IN. and later resided in Georgia, with her parents, Nicholas and Sheila Forbing and sisters Kristy and Aimee. She leaves behind also, two nieces and two nephews, and a large loving extended family.

To all, Jennifer was a precious Spring-blossom, filled with life's blissful energy; she embraced life and everyone around her with her angelic smile and lovable personality. For those who knew her, she was simply precious, beautiful, compassionate, insightful, and she painted a smile on the faces of those who surrounded her.

Treasuring her every word, smile, and move, Jennifer's memory shall always have a safe home in her loved ones' hearts.

The Lord picked Jennifer to beautify His majestic garden — to guide her into eternity, resting on her Savior's knees. May the Almighty God grant us with inner peace, acceptance, patience, and miraculous strength to endure Jennifer's departure.

Today's pain is merely temporary, but her loved ones shall breathe life into Jennifer's memories from the dawn to the dusk of many tomorrows.

Jennifer, we all love and miss you dearly.

Visited you today as you know... and seen your new headstone... i must say its simply a work of art, i have honestly never seen one more beautiful..
 Happy 27th Birthday Angel

Okay, so I remember when you brought whiskers home and were trying to convince dad to let you keep that critter! Whiskers was covered in fleas, coming out his eyes, everywhere. Dad just looked at you, like "are you kidding me". Now granted my memories may be skewed but this is how I remember it... for some reason you painted a "paint by numbers" picture of a cat, once you finished that dad said you could have the cat. i couldn't believe it, I remember looking at dad and saying, "if i paint a dog will you let me get one" no way he said. Anyway, you dipped that kitten in flea bath after flea bath and we all kept waiting for it to die. Not you, you kept on, kept loving that thing. I think that is what probably helped it live, all the love you gave to it. Even the vet said, no way was this kitten going to survive. Well, whiskers was here for just a little longer than you were. We all loved whiskers. These are the memories that make me smile...

Oh Jeni what can I say that I haven't said. I (We all Miss you very much) .

Well I told myself not to cry today just keep going, that didn't work I cried until well you know. I started talking to you and feeling better. I got myself together and my  friends took me up to the mountains.  oh jeni , the  fall colors on the trees are so beautiful the sun was shinning down I was taking it all in and enjoying every minute of what God has given us. I found myself praying and thanking God for letting us have you for the time we did. We all have so many wonderful memories of your life. I felt something yesterday something I haven't felt . It was like you were there with me . I even thought I heard you laughing. Let me keep hearing that laugh. My heart hurts but with Gods  I will make it. I Love you Jeni. God Bless  xx oo  MOM 

My deepest condolences.  May these few words from the Holy Scriptures bring you comfort in your time of grief...

John 11:32-45

32 And so Mary, when she arrived where Jesus was and caught sight of him, fell at his feet, saying to him: “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” 33 Jesus, therefore, when he saw her weeping and the Jews that came with her weeping, groaned in the spirit and became troubled; 34 and he said: “Where have YOU laid him?” They said to him: “Lord, come and see.” 35 Jesus gave way to tears. 36 Therefore the Jews began to say: “See, what affection he used to have for him!” 37 But some of them said: “Was not this [man] that opened the eyes of the blind man able to prevent this one from dying?”

38 Hence Jesus, after groaning again within himself, came to the memorial tomb. It was, in fact, a cave, and a stone was lying against it.39 Jesus said: “TAKE the stone away.” Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to him: “Lord, by now he must smell, for it is four days.”40 Jesus said to her: “Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” 41 Therefore they took the stone away. Now Jesus raised his eyes heavenward and said: “Father, I thank you that you have heard me. 42 True, I knew that you always hear me; but on account of the crowd standing around I spoke, in order that they might believe that you sent me forth.” 43 And when he had said these things, he cried out with a loud voice: “Laz´a·rus, come on out!” 44The [man] that had been dead came out with his feet and hands bound with wrappings, and his countenance was bound about with a cloth. Jesus said to them: “Loose him and let him go.”

45 Therefore many of the Jews that had come to Mary and that beheld what he did put faith in him;

Don't grieve for me

for now I'm free

I'm following the path

God laid for me.

I took his hand when

I heard his call

I turned my back and left it all

I could not stay another day,

to laugh, to love, to work or pray

Tasks left undone

must stay that way

I found that peace at

the close of day

If my parting has left a void

then fill it with remembered joy

perhaps my time has

seemed all too brief

don't lenghten it now

with undue grief

Lift up your hearts

and share with me

God wanted me now,

He set me Free.

 

 

 

I never knew Jennifer. I've never even seen her or met her. However, every single day, because of my job, I drive by that white wooden cross with her name on it. I see a lot of those crosses on the highway. But when I decided to visit this sight I had no idea what I was in for. Now, Jennifer Forbing means so much more than the name of a stranger on a wooden cross by the roadside. I too have a loved one represented by one of those crosses. Anyway, take care and God bless.

John 11:25

1. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
