To Whitt, Keith, Kathy, Kim and your loved ones,

May you know you are in my prayers as God will comfort you through this time of loss. I am truly sorry I missed this not knowing anything until after Christmas where my cousin Artie and his wife Marcia Minter mentioned it to me. I was shocked. I want you to know how precious your family was to ours. We are really blessed in knowing your family, as my Moma really loved each one of you. You are all so special and so many fond memories...

Dear Whitt, Keith, Kathy, Kim and all your wonderful extended family:

You are in my thoughts and prayers. Elizabeth was a terrific mother and graciously adopted dozens of us at the frequent parties you threw for the Monument Heights youth. I have such found memories of your loving household. God bless you all!

Please know that your family is in our prayers.

Dear Kathy,

I know how much you love and cherish your mother and I can only imagine the void that her loss leaves. I pray that good and happy memories of times spent with her and lessons learned from her will help to fill the void and that God's very spirit will fill the rest. I love you and am keeping you and all of your family in my prayers.

What a blessing she was to so many and I know...

Knowing Elizabeth and her extraordinary witness been such a gift to me. Her gentle spirit and great sense of humor will be sorely missed my many. Death is not extinguishing the light, but rather putting out the lamp because the Light has come. Whitt and family: may your precious memories bring you much comfort and peace.

I have known the Foggs all of my life. I have many good memories that include the Fogg's. Whitt and Elizabeth Fogg showed a rare and pure true love . They remained faithful and devoted to my family during some rough times. My father (Dick Ashby) considered Whitt and Elizabeth his very best friends, for life.
Elizabeth and Whitt visited my mother on the day before she became ill, and I was there, and so glad to have had that chance to see her and hug her , not knowing it was...
