My Deepest Sympathy to the Foster Family. My earliest childhood memories are of a wonderful man, Mr. Foster. The tree house, the chickens, haunted houses, but most of all the smiles and kindness of Mr. Foster and the entire Foster family. Over the years my brother Mark and I talk about such great memories of "The Fosters". I am grateful for such memories of a wonderful man. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Peace, Carol Costello

Sending sympathy to the Foster Family from
Emily Schroeder Scroggs and James Scroggs.
The Foster Family was always connected to the East Congregational Church where my father was minister for many years. Bob's parents were especially close to us. Bob was an exceptional person and I wanted to express my appreciation for all that he and his family did for my family and the community. With my sincere sympathy to you all for the loss of a wonderful person.
