Not sure what to say?

A memory I still cherish was Uncle Drew, my godfather, taking me to see Peter Pan, one of the earliest movies I remember attending.

Foy cousins,
Our love, thoughts, and prayers are with you all during this time. So glad I got to visit your dad this spring. I loved both your parents a bunch! Your dad was my godfather and your mom was my confirmation sponsor. I loved all our family gatherings, and especially enjoyed coming down to the farm on my own when I could drive. I seldom thought of only one. It was always "Dickie and Drew." And now they are together again. See you Sept. 12.

Hello Foy Family:

Please accept the Kelly Family's sincere condolences. Andy was a close friend and a good man. He was my Confirmation Sponsor and a special counselor and friend to my father. All of will miss Andy.

Dear Kevin, Chris, Jeremy, Andrea, Greg, and Celia: My heart goes out to all of you and to your entire family. Your dad was a great guy, and I have many fond memories of him. He always greeted me warmly and treated me with respect, even when I was just a kid a few years out of school. Although it has been many years since I last saw him, I can still picture him vividly and hear his voice clearly in my memory. I always knew how proud he was of each one of you.

The Boswell family is saddened by the loss of your loving father. He will live long in my many fun memories of "The Foy's Farm." My life would certainly be a lot different had I not known all of the Foy family. I am so glad I got to see your father 2 years ago. He will rest in peace knowing what a amazing family he has left behind to continue his kindness and family values. My love, prayers and thoughts are with you all.

God Bless, Megen Boswell

The Gorman family sends love and prayers to all the Foys as we share with you the sadness of losing your dear father. I have many wonderful memories of spending summer holidays at your farm with large groups of friends, enjoying potlucks and picnics, playing softball and volleyball, and relaxing under the big old shade trees on the farmhouse lawn. God bless you and comfort you and give you peace at this time. Your dad has fought the good fight and is blessed to be eternally happy now. The...
