So Sorry for your loss he was a wonderful person, Had the sweetest smile anyone could ever have just his smile could melt your heart, I will always remember Daddy Foster the last day I saw him. We talked about the beautiful lights he had seen and he just smiled. I know he is in heaven and will see him and his wonderful smile again.
All My Love,
