Virgina, although I did not know her, my heart hurts for your loss. Just to let you know that you can call me day or night...the Lord knows I am up all night long. I love you.

Dear Jenny Sue and Family...
How very sorry we were to hear of your Mom's passing..there just aren
't words to express the feelings. I remember your kindness and compassion during our time of loss, and will never forget how much it meant to all of us. It has been many years since I saw your Mom, but I remember her as such sweet and genuine lady. And the sun rose and set in you, for her. I know your heart is broken..and may never completely heal..just take comfort in knowing that your Mom, Uncle Lindy, Daddy, and their Mom and Dad are together and will be waiting for the rest of us. I truly believe that with all my heart. I hope your faith will give you peace and see through this time of sorrow. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with you and all your family...

Dear Musser Family, My Dad, Max Thompson, considered himself part of your beautiful family. For those younger family members, the Musser's & Thompson's were close neighbors on Circle Drive in Mullens for ages. Dad has been gone for well over 20 years now, but I recall some of his "tales" of his growing-up years. (Ofcourse, many of his fondest memories were of you "Mussers".) He would talk about each sibling & I always thought Willowdeen had such an unusual, pretty name. Another memory I have is Dad was so impressed of the variety of talents the Musser family displayed. I'm sure of one thing, there is a celebration going on in Heaven......

Dearest Jenny Sue and Family, It was so good to talk to you and again, I am so sorry I didn't know about your mom's passing in time to be there. I am so glad that daddy and Uncle Lindy now have one of their sisters to be with them in heaven. As much as they are all missed here on earth, we, as their families know they are all in a better place and they are all whole again. Just know that in the days to come, when you need to talk to someone who understands your pain, I am here for you. Take good care of yourself and your family. Our love and thoughts are with you all and we are there in spirit.
Love and prayers, Holly Musser Foster and Jim Foster
