Dear Cousin Irene and the Foy Family,

I am deeply sadden by the passing of Anthony, my Big Cousin but I rejoice in knowing that he is with Our Savior and the Blessed Mother to whom he was greatly devoted. Anthony lived his faith and was a great example to others! Irene you and your husband are truly role models to anyone desiring to live a truly Christian life. You are more of a Big Sister to me, William and Cynthia than a first cousin and I love you and will continue to pray for Anthony and the Foy Family...be Blessed in Our Lord Jesus Christ!

Mrs. Foy,
I was deeply sorry to read of Mr. Foy's passing in the paper this morning. He was as fine a model of a Catholic gentleman as any person I have ever come into contact with. Know that I will have masses said for him, even though it is highly probable he does not need them. He was a great example to all with whom he came in contact, and I think his quiet piety epitomized what St. Francis once said, "Preach the gospel constantly and, only when absolutely necessary, use words."
I can almost hear Our Lord and Our Lady greeting him with the words, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into your Master's joy". May he continue to pray for all of us!

Sincerely,
Tom and Dottie Watson and family

God bless you all, Mrs Foy. I'm Louis Gaignard, and for some years I sat next to the two of you at morning Mass at Corpus Christi. The years when Father Schrader was in our parish were very special for us all. I truly looked up to the two of you because I considered you the most holy, loving , and giving couple I knew. You dedication to God and to your fellow man was a bright example for all to follow. My prayers to your whole family at the lost of a giant in our community. God is smiling on him now because he lead a life of Christian servitude to mankind. Please know that my prayers are with you all. God bless you, Mrs Irene Foy and family.
