Dear Nanny,
I will miss your funny coments, your stories from "back in the day", the way you made me laugh, and how much you love me. I'll miss your input on family game night and your wonderful sense of humor. I love and will miss you Nanny!

Chris & Ellen,

Please except my deepest sympathy with your loss. It was at "The Foss's" place that Chris and I became great friends and created so many memories. She always demonstrated great patience with us for our antics and was extremely entertaining. God Bless!!

Dear family of Mary Foss
I wish to extend my deepest sympathy and regret that I cannot be there in person to tell you how highly I thought of Mary. She was my first patient in the Medical Dept. at Albany Felt. Of course she relly didn't need to be seen, she just wanted to see who the "new nurse" was and to give me a few "pointers". We became friends instantly. I could always count on Mary to help out with the Children's Christmas party and any other functions that required her departments input. Mary was the best. Ater she retired I would look forward to seeing her at the Company Clam Bakes and catch up with the news of her family. This earth won't be the same without Mary and heaven won't be the same with her.
Sincerely'

Marge Jones
