I met Ms. Foster at Gardenview nursing home, she and my sister in-law shared a room, when she transferred to another facility, I thought about her often. She was such a sweet and kind person. Our prayers go out to her sons, and the rest of the family. May God continue to keep you in His care.
Family, lean on each other for support at this time and keep her memories close. She is gone, but not forgotten! Dorothy Jones Jarrell
