Elizabeth - I was so sorry to hear about your mother. She was such a nice lady. In Sympathy, Lisa (Epperly) Marie

Elizabeth and Mike:
I was so sad to hear about the loss of your Mother. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
When I heard the news I told David some of the wonderful memories I have of your Mother. Do you remember she gave me a gift of money to purchase a coat for my first winter in PA for Grad School.
She will be missed and I only hope both of you have the best of memories to make you happy.
Take care,

My thoughts and prayers are with you and may all the memories of her bring you comfort.

Mrs Foster was a sweet lady who will be missed. She was the librarian at Auburn when I was in high school.The last several years I have had the pleasure of seeing and speaking with her on many occasions. She will be greatly missed.

Dear Elizabeth & Michael,
Dad and Mom told me today about your mother's passing. I'm sorry to hear about it. Joy came down here with Mom and two others in May. It was a pleasure getting to know her again after all these years. She was upbeat, humorous and interesting to talk to. She frequently mentioned you all and the grandkids. May the good memories she's given you cheer you through the years.

Kay and I were so sorry to hear of Aunt Joy's passing. She always held a special place in my heart...being the youngest of my aunts, I always thought she was "cool". And, as an adult I always appreciated her warmth, her wisdom and her compassion. She will truly be missed. Our condolences to Michael and Elizabeth and family. Our thoughts are with you.

Extending my deepest sympathy on the loss of your mother and praying that your faith will give you strength in this sad time.

Although I haven't seen Mrs. Foster since Elizabeth and I were in college together, I remember her to be a lovely lady who did such a wonderful job raising two strong & compassionate children.

I know she will me missed!

I'll miss you, Joy. Paula.

Mrs. Foster's passing saddens all who knew her. She was always gracious, a true lady in all respects. She visited our home this past summer and we enjoyed her being with us, as much as she seemed to enjoy herself. The day was even lovelier because she was there.

May God's peace and comfort be with you, Mike and Elizabeth, in the coming days. Keep hold of the special memories of your very special mother.
