Memories
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

Jennifer Lynne Forbing WE LOVE YOU.....HAPPY BIRTHDAY SWEETIE....
When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see;
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.
I wish so much you wouldn't cry
The way you did today;
While thinking of the many things
We didn't get to say.
I know how much you love me
As much as I love you;
And each time that you think of me,
I know you'll miss me too.
But when tomorrow starts without me
Please try to understand,
That an angel came and called my name
And took me by the hand.
She said my place was ready
In heaven far above;
And that I'd have to leave behind,
All those I dearly love.
But as I turned to walk away,
A tear fell from my eye;
For all my life, I'd always thought
I didn't want to die.
I had so much to live for,
So much yet to do;
It seemed almost impossible,
That I was leaving you.
I thought of all the yesterdays,
The good ones and the bad;
I thought of all the love we shared,
And all the fun we had.
If I could relive yesterday
Just even for awhile,
I'd say goodbye and kiss you
And maybe see you smile.
But then I fully realized
That this could never be;
For emptiness and memories
Would take the place of me.
And when I thought of worldly things
I might miss come tomorrow;
I thought of you, and when I did,
My heart was filled with sorrow.
But when I walked through heaven's gates
I felt so much at home;
When God looked down and smiled at me
From His great golden throne.
He said, "This is eternity
And all I've promised you;
Today your life on earth is past,
But here it all starts anew."
"I promise no tomorrow,
But today will always last;
And since each day's the same day,
There's no longing for the past."
"But you have been so faithful,
So trusting and so true;
Though at times you did do things,
You knew you shouldn't do."
"But you have been forgiven
And now at last you're free;
So won't you take my hand
And share my life with me?"
So when tomorrow starts without me,
Don't think we're far apart
For every time you think of me,
I'm right here in your heart.
far across the ocean i read your life story such a beautiful woman you are i shared a tear as any father would i am so sorry your life was cut short i don,t no weather i have the right to to leave a message but i thought it was the right thing to do god bless you and keep you i will think about you.

was just trying to remember when I last spoke or seen you..
I think the last time we spoke was when i went to your mom/dad's in NC for the first time, you called and was trying to get ahold of your mom, but she was at work, so we spoke briefly cause you were at work also =]
as for seeing you, I believe you all were still living in Ga. and came to town for something, maybe friend's graduation, or Kristy's maybe ???
but when I was at your mom's in NC, me and her spoke of maybe heading down to Ga. to see you 3 girls, I so wish now that, at the time, it was possible, but nonetheless you'll always be in my heart, and in my thoughts
I think about you everyday and find myself talking to you and asking for your guidence. I miss our daily conversations and the way you were able to help me see the positive in everthing. I dont forget and I wont forget you. I just wanted to tell you I love you and I missing you. Till we meet again my friend.
It's hard, I look at this site often... Wondering now why I didn't take the time to talk to you face to face when I could... I have talked to Kelsey and James, as you know, looking down from heaven. It doesn't help. I feel so bad for your family. I feel sometimes I set you on a path of trouble that eventually would hurt you. I see how comments trickle less and less as time goes on. I wish I could be like a lot of other people and move on but I feel like the one person who ever understand the thoughts that went through my head is gone. And I can't shake that loss. Please give me the strength to understand you are in a happy place and to move on. I miss u so much!!!
Hey Jenn ~ I keep having these dreams about seeing you - especially when we were really young - like sixth or seventh grade... when we would dig through Ab's old Volvo and steal her reds and sit on the swing in the garage and listen to that old Monica CD -- remember that -- "just one of those days" -- I love you sooooo much and I will never forget the wonderful times we shared together.
Love,
Elly
As Christmas comes around the corner I think all of us reflect on memories of Christmas's past. I will never forget how you made me buy this ghetto tree and how we spent more time picking up stuff that kitten knocked off of it than anything else.
Jenny and the people who loved her |

Jen ~ I love you so much. I'm so sorry I missed out on the last few years of your life - I wish I could have been there. You were such a great friend - and so beautiful - inside and out. If I could take anything from you - it would be your ability to see the good in everyone. You have so many people who love you - because you got along with everyone - and they always wanted to be around you. I will never forget you. I miss you so much. I wish I would have called. I'm sorry. I will always cherish the memories we had together -- I only wish that I could remember more. I love you --- Elly

NO FAREWELLS WERE SPOKEN
THERE WAS NO TIME FOR GOODBYES
YOU WERE GONE BEFORE WE KNEW IT
AND ONLY GOD KNOWS WHY
IF TEARS COULD BUILD A STAIRWAY
AND MEMORIES BUILD A LANE
WE WOULD WALK THE PATH TO HEAVEN
AND BRING YOU BACK AGAIN
FRIENDS MAY THINK WE'VE FORGOTTEN
WHEN AT TIMES THEY SEE US SMILE
LITTLE DO THEY KNOW THE HEARTACHE
OUR SMILES HIDE ALL THE WHILE
TO SOME YOU MAY BE GONE
FOR OTHERS A PART OF THE PAST
BUT FOR THOSE WHO LOVED AND LOST YOU
YOUR MEMORY WILL ALWAYS LAST
A DAY WILL NOT GO BY WHEN SOMEONE SOMEWHERE WILL THINK OF YOU!!
YOU ARE MISSED!!!
Jen,
There are so many memories of you in my life that I obviously couldn't write them all in one page. Some of the best memories of you are when Chris went out of town and you stayed with me. That was our tradition and come hell or high water you were going to be there. We stayed up laughing for hours about the stupidest stuff and watched dumb movies that we could make fun of. Then of course when we went to bed we continued laughing because my dogs loved your hair. I'm really going to miss those times with you but I know that next time Chris goes out of town you'll still be with. Just in a different way. The last 9 years are filled with so many memories of you and they will never be replaced by anyone. I love you girl. I'm not going to say goodbye....See you later.
Tami
Too many memories to say...almost 9 years worth. I love you, always will. You were my best friend, no matter what happened, if I really needed someone, I called you. I was there for Jon, Chris, Micheal, Allen, Jon (again), Kevin, and then Jon(again again) and all those in between. I just can't say enough about all the good memories that you've given me. You've meant so much to me throughout high school and college and you were there for every big moment in my life. Every big memory has you in it and I thank you for that. I love you Jeni (Geni, Jen, Jenni, Jenny...), you will forever be a part of my heart.
BFF, LYLAS,

Always...

Laura (aka Felicia)
