Prior to yesterday’s game, Gary Cohen and Keith Hernandez paid tribute to Shannon Forde, who died after battling breast cancer at age 44.
The Mets will host a memorial service and a celebration of Forde’s life on Wednesday, March 9 at 3 p.m. at Citi Field in the Foxwoods Club. It is open to the public, and guests should use Parking Lot Entrance 8 and park in Lots B/D, then proceed to enter the ballpark via the Seaver VIP Entrance where they will be directed to the Foxwoods Club.
In lieu of flowers, the Forde family asks that contributions be made to the Daniel P. Ryan Foundation. Checks can be sent to P.O. Box 3145 Point Pleasant, NJ 08742 to the attention of Gaby Ryan. Contributions can also be made online at www.dprf.org.
