Ridge forever...
To Ridge Forrester, my biggest role model. Ridge was an amazing man. He changed the world and everyone's lives. If Ridge never made the first Forrester suit, things would have been terribly different in the world today. I'm a teenager, and as I grew up, my father would always talk about Ridge Forrester and Forrester Creations. Everyday, it was something new, so Ridge seemed like part of the family in a way. He will go down in history, and be remembered as such a significant being.

thank you Ridge Forrester
My first suit was a 1991 Forrester. My latest suit is a 2012 Forrester. I even tried Brooke's Bedroom line for a while. Thank you, Ridge, for your vision and your inspiration. You brought a lot of beauty into being, and truly made the world a better place.

Remembering Ridge
I joined the Cult of Forrester Creations in 1997 and haven't looked back since. We lost a brilliant mind and innovator who dared to "think different." I can honestly say that Ridge and his company have influenced how I operate on a daily basis professionally and creatively. .

Dear Ridge Forrester
I was deeply saddened to hear about your leaving. Who could think you would leave Bold and the Beautiful this early? I was hoping you would come back to work and surprise us with your innovative and amazing dresses. You've been the greatest leader and the most amazing creator. I believe your sprit will be here and keep inspiring people although you left this show. I believe the company you built and loved will keep surprising us. We will never forget you. Thank you very much for your great job.

once in a lifetime
Once-in-a-lifetime, people grace our world and bring a force with them that leaves the world in awe of their vision, determination and ability to mesh the two into something tangible. We hang onto their creations, hoping to catch just a tiny sliver of their magic! The most amazing thing about these once-in-a-lifetime people is that when they go back into the universe beyond the stars, they don't disappear. They radiate. Their magic remains and our world reflects their brilliance in a whole new light.

Condolences from Sweden
I was extremely sadden by the leaving of Ridge Forrester from the show. He has opened my eyes to the beautiful world of fashion. I'm sure the whole company is having a hard time about him leaving and you will be in my thoughts and prayers. Ridge Forrester seemed to be the perfect example of a dedicated nice man, who will go out of his way to help others. I remember when the Brooke's Bedroom came out and it was my first lingerie, it was the best gift of my childhood. I hope all of you draw strength to get through this tragedy. May God bless you all during this time and always.
