I thought Nita as one of my best friends for so long. I have missed our prayer group. I miss the time I stayed with Nita while she was going to be by herself. We were like teenagers staying up most of the night laughing and talking. I will really miss our phone talks after she moved.

To the family of Nita Forsyth,
It is sad to know of the loss of a longtime friend.
Please accept our sympathies to Nita's family. We knew Nita when she worked at the telephone company in Morrilton Arkansas.
May she RIP our prayers for all during this difficult time.

I'm thankful to have know such a sweet and kind person as Annetta. It was a privilege to have been her roommate while we were both in rehab. May God's peace be with you all.

To the Forsyth Family so sorry for your loss.
Hal, Sheila and Renee so sorry for your loss. Aunt Nita was a wonderful person and was deeply loved by all. She was a big help to me when I was losing my dad (her brother) to cancer. She will be greatly missed.
