Obituary of Tyler Forrester

Tyler Logan Forrester was born on July 24, 2009 in Detroit, Michigan. He was the son of Victoria Forrester. Even before his birth his family knew that his life would be difficult, but they received Tyler with much anticipation and with open arms. On October 4, 2009 the Forrester's were able to have Tyler dedicated at the Stewart Road Christian Ministries Center. Tyler was blessed by having a large and devoted family. He enjoyed being read to and especially being sung to. Tyler was constantly being cuddled and coddled. He didn't mind; in fact he preferred sleeping next to his mother over sleeping in a lonely crib. If grandpa had had his way, Tyler would have grown to be an avid Red Wings fan as well.
