Foye was a wonderful example of common sense and wisdom. One of my favorite quotes from her came when she was visiting me. She saw me cleaning up leftovers off my children's plates by eating them. When I told her I couldn't just throw food out, she replied, "It'll either go to waste or waist. You choose." I've had the opportunity to share that with a smile with many others. It was one of many "As my aunt used to say" phrases I got to make good use of!
Lots of love to all of...

Dear Mom,
Thank you for all of the years you cared for me. When I would be sick at home, I would always have oatmeal and grapefruit. If I had an upset stomach, I got tomato soup and crackers. Gingerale if really bad. Although it was not often that you would stay home with us, it was great when we had that choice.I remember another time when I came home from school, walked in the door and you were home and had made brownies!That was totally awesome. I remember thinking, it would be great...
