My prayers go out to you in the loss of Foster. I cant remember when I had the last contact with Foster but I will never forget the happy childhood days we had together.

Jo Ann and Greta,
May God comfort you at this difficult time. And I pray that both of you can share in the wonderful memories you have of Foster. I know you will miss him deeply each and every day. I am so sorry for your heartfelt loss. Just think one day you will greet him again in heaven and what a great reunion that will be.

Foster made me laugh every day at work, either with one of his outrageous stories about what a terrible child he was, or some crazy joke. It was hard to imagine how he could have grown into such a sweet man. I really missed him after he left Progressive Constructors. My thoughts and prayers are with you, JoAnn and Greta.
