I’m so very sorry for your loss. I hope you are able to find comfort with family and close friends at this extremely difficult time. My heartfelt sympathies. Jodi Vogel
Mike, Claudia, Leigh Ann, Eric, and Peter; We were stunned when our Michael told us about David. Our prayers are with you. God bless David now just as He has for the last 17 years with such a caring family. Watching him grow over the years into a young man, I still first think of his cute little face around second grade with his wide-eyed, shy smile and perpetually chapped lips. It always makes me smile. Our heart-felt sympathy to you. Judy, Roy, Michael, and Hannah Bensen.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family during this time. May God Bless and Keep you. Alums of Madison Class 1989 & 2006 Soon to be Class of 2013

Mr. and Mrs. Forde, I thoroughly enjoyed the week I spent hiking and canoeing with David at Caroline Furnace almost two years ago. We overcame many obstacles together. We got to know each other on a personal level, having only two other campers on the trip. Praise the Lord for David’s beautiful life! I will remember him the rest of my days. Blessings, Jocelyn
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Forde, My deepest condolences go out to you and your family. I knew David from a 2 week experience at Camp Caroline Furnace and got to know him quite well. You and your family will be in my prayers and his memory will be with me forever. God’s Peace, Nathaniel Hodges

Prayer to be offered at Valley Forge Military Academy and College Chapel on May 24: Father, The sudden passing of David Forde, brother of Prepster Peter Forde, reminds us how fleeting life is, and how precarious the hold we have on it. Life can be taken away from us in the twinkling of an eye. However, the brevity and fragility of life also bring home to us how precious is the treasure we carry in earthen vessels. No doubt all of us would like to have the chance to prepare for death, with our plans carried out and our life’s work done. Teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. You, the God of power and love, have made us not for death but for eternal life. May the Forde family receive assurance and comfort knowing their brother and son, David, is now in Your perfect care. Scatter the shadows of death and cause the radiance of eternity to shine on them and on us gathered here. AMEN.
Dear Mike, Claudia and family, It was with unspeakable sadness that we recently learned of David’s passing. Although we didn’t know him well, we know what a loving family you are and remember how overjoyed you were to welcome him into your family 17 years ago. May God’s grace be with you and your whole family to help guide you through this time of loss.
Dear Family of David Stephen Forde, My wife and I lost our son 2 years ago on May 10th due to a car accident. We are friends with Chris Fair and heard from her of your loss.

David will never be forgotten and you will see him again! Jim and Marlene Vandre
Dear Claudia and Mike, I am so very sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Sincere condolances, Kathryn (Capell) Raab
Dear Claudia, Mike, Leigh Ann, Eric & Peter, We just received your email and are devastated to hear of your loss. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Here is a little something that we would like to share with you, it meant so much to us when we lost our daughter-in-law’s mother, Virginia, suddenly in 2007. ~The Broken Chain~ We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, In death we do the same. It broke out hearts to lose you, You did not go alone; for part of us went with you, the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide; and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken, and nothng seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. ~Author Unknown~
Mr. David Forde, A name that always gave me a smile, the personality that I have found remarkable. He was a great friend to talk and to pass time with. It is a complete shock to hear that a close friend can go away so quickly. I’m deeply sorry for your loss.
We just learned of David’s passing in a letter from dear Doris Bellinger. She keeps us updated on the Ashlawn neighbors, and we are so sorry to learn of your tremendous loss. All of your children brought a welcome spark of childhood joy to Nadine Drive. May God comfort you and your family and may your memories of David always bring a smile to your face, even when the tears flow.
I did not know about this until now and even though it is very late I still wish to write something. The world was fortunate to have such a wonderful person in its midst. A boys whose smile could light up the room, who brought so much happiness to so many people and cared just as much. Now he is in a place where he feels no pain and sheds no tears. God held out his hand to David and said it was his time. He spent his time well making a permanent place in each of our hearts, but accepted the hand and crossed over. The loss is painful but I praise God everyday that I was fortunate to have him in my life and that he is now in place where he will always be happy. With Love Always
