Mr. Foley, Liz, John and Peter,
I was so sorry to here about Mrs. Foley. She will be greatly missed by many especially our family. I remember fondly so many summer nights at the West Dennis Yacht Club with Liz and John at dances supervised ever so closely by Mrs. Foley. No trouble too small could be had without her watchful eye taking notice. As a mother myself now, I finally understand the fear and love she showed for all of her children. I will always remember her with great affection. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
Love,

Sharon, Dave, Anna, Luke & Ella Norton
