As a singer who passed up her opportunity to pursue a singing career (with deep regrets, now that I am 60) I would like to see Helen Forrest remembered properly, as the great singer that she was. I have always said that I was born in the wrong era (1952) since Swing Music & all the wonderful standards always felt natural to me. I LOVE that music! I would be happy to donate to a fund, if one is set up, for a marker for your mother's grave. Please post the info. (Perhaps by now there is one...that would be wonderful.)
