Rebecca Smart wrote a sympathy message

““If a task is once begun, never leave it 'til it’s done. Be thou labor great or small, do it well or not at all.” Mrs Forte will forever be one of my favorite people. She was an amazing woman and raised a beautiful family. I can only imagine the number of people she touched in her lifetime. She was full of wisdom and grace and her spunky attitude could light up a room. She has completed her task and she has done it well. Bless you Mrs. Forte, Becky Baehr Fresenius Medical Care”
