My thoughts are with you and the family and how death robs us of our loved ones. Jehovah God has promised to remove death, sickness, and pain from the earth and reunite us with our loved one on a cleansed earth in the future. (Revelation 21:4; John 5:28,29; John 17:3; Psalms 83:18)  In the meantime you can be sure that God understands how you feel now! The Bible assures us: 'He is healing the brokenhearted ones, And is binding up there painful spots.' Psalms 147:3

Buenas tardes,usted y su familia no me conocen pero lamento mucho su perdida por eso le escribo pues e pasado por el mismo dolor hace poco y para mi y mi familia fueron muy animadoras y llena de consuelo las palabras de una promesa que aparecen en un texto bíblico Revelación 21:4 donde dios nos promete que dejaremos de sufrir por lo que mas dolor nos causa en este mundo,la muerte y que dejaremos de llorar por la pérdida de nuestros seres amados,solo lloraremos de felicidad al ver cumplidas también las palabras de el texto de Hechos 24:15 donde nos dice que seamos buenos o seamos fieles a él o muramos sin conocerlo el nos promete que traerá a la vida mediante la resurrección a todos los que estén dormidos en la muerte,estas bellas promesas nos llenan se esperanza y consuelo a mi familia y a mi y deseo de todo corazón que les suceda los mismo a usted y su familia,espero que mejore su dolor poco a poco que tenga buen día y no deje de apoyarse en la oración que es un magnífico medio en el que podemos abrir nuestro corazón a dios y aliviar nuestro dolor,tenga un buen dia

Cassandra and I were more than former co-workers at Durham High. We were close friends. She was loving and kind to me as well as to my family. We enjoyed many walks at Northgate Mall where we were trying to stay fit. I will miss the conversations, the laughter, the shopping, and the delicious meals we shared. Fogg, as I often called her, will always be known as a great educator, but I will remember her as a dear friend. My love and condolences are with the family.

Feb. 1, 1982, Ms. Fogg was my English Professor at St Augustines College my freshman year. She walked in the class and asked who knew what today was. Not one student in the auditorium could answer. The lecture for the day turned into a valuable scolding about Black History that I never forgot. That lesson propelled me forward in life and it was Ms. Fogg who inspired me and reminded me that I am standing on the shoulders of many who have gone without for me to have a seat. May God Bless you richly for the flame you lit in so many a student Ms Fogg! Family, this was a well deserved rest, may you God Bless you as you tarry.
