Becky & the Foley Family
Our thoughts & prayers are with you during this difficult time. We really enjoyed knowing Mrs. Foley, she was truly a wonderful person.
Sadly, I am late responding as I just recently received this sad news.

Ms Foley will be truly missed at Springtree Nursing Home. She was like an icon. Everytime I would enter, she was always traveling up and down the halls. She would enter into residents rooms just to smile and visit. My family will truly miss her presence. She was a warm loving and beautiful person. We will also miss the wonderful conversations we use to have with Becky and Sidney. They were there about every day taking care of their mother and that is outstanding. My life is blessed because we had a chance to love and spend time with the family.

To Sydney, and the rest of the Foley Family.
I am so sorry that I can not be with you now, and did not get a chance to visit with Marie one last time before her passing. I will miss her tremendously, as she was like a mother to me. She was such a kind, and understanding person. Please know that I am with you all in sprit and heart.
I loved her so much

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, ""I welcome you.""
It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.
God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......""My day was not in vain.""
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
