Major Pamm, Kindly accept our deepest condolences for the loss of your beloved mother. Her obituary tells the story of a life well lived. She will be greatly missed by the many people whose lives she touched as a mother, church leader, Bible teacher, nurse's aid and friend. We in Liberia are also very grateful for a daughter like you who have a heart for our country. We are in prayers with you. May the angels in heaven send comfort in these days of storm and give you strength to face the loss. The entire Salvation Liberia Command Education Secretariat, administrators, teachers and student body join me in expressing our deepest sympathy to you.

Dear cousins,
I am so sorry to hear aunt Ruby passed. Please know my prayers are with you all. I regret I will be out of town and won't be able to see you and visit a little. I have a very close friend who is critical that I need to lend support to. When I told mom about Ruby I could see the sadness in her eyes. Mom doesn't talk much anymore but is still in there. I know she longs to be reunited with her family and Savior.
May Jesus comfort you and bless you,
Cousin Sue (Lutz) Foster
