May God bless Mrs. Forbes and her entire family. I had only met her a handful of times while she was sitting in the courtyard of her apartment building with other family members. I was made aware of her grave condition and of her passing by my friends Patrick (grandson) & his wife Dana.
May she rest in peace.
