Dr. Foster,
I feel your grief and I know what it feels like to lose a love one that has been apart of your life along time. I have always appreciated what you and Mrs. Foster did for me the years I spent at FAMU. When I work in your yard the warm feeling yall gave me. Keep your faith as long as you believe in Jesus Christ and his father Jehovah there is hope in the ressurection.

Dr. Foster, you and Mrs. Foster have always shown me and my family the warmest of love and concern. While my mother was a student in vocal education (Concert Choir) at FAMU in the 70's and when I came in the mid 90's in the Marching 100. Many blessings to you and your family and may God's angels stay encamped around you. I will always remember her and her colorful stories of the students that she taught and of "how things used to be." I only pray that I can find true love such as you and Mrs, Foster shared. I count it a privilege and blessing to have been in both of your presence.

We have prayed that God's will be done in the life of Mrs. Foster while she served her purpose here on earth. Now, as God has planned, she has been called to do an even greater work and even though it hurts our hearts to be left here without her, we yet thank God for the opportunity to have met her, serve along side, and we look forward to seeing her when Jesus Christ returns. William and Tessie Herriott and their family are praying for your strength in this time of transition.
We encourage you even in this, to give our Heavenly Father Praise!

This is a woman who maintained poise and the definition of a true Lady while being a mother, an educator and the wife of the notorious Dr.William P.Foster. Everytime I saw her I watched her love for the young adults of Famu and especially The Marching 100. She is dear to my heart and will be missed. Beside every great man is an even greater woman. May God continue to bless your family. God didnt bring you to this without knowing He will bring you through this.

Dr. Foster, though it has been a while since I have been in the "Marching 100" 1977-78, I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to you and your family on the loss of your beloved wife, Mrs. Mary Foster. I was a freshman in Fall'77 (Symphonic Jan-May 1977, Marching 100 Aug-Dec 1977; when the freshman bus to Miami classic left where 4 freshman also were left in the Orlando bus station. When the coach you and your wife were riding came into Orlando bus station you stated that we could board the upper classmen bus. I sat right behind you and your wife and felt very safe from the upper classmen at the rear. You and she always shielded individuals from adverse issues. I salute you for your pain-staking watch over your wife and know that you are truly biessed in your efforts.

Dear Dr. Foster and Family,
For many of members of the "100," Mrs. Foster represented our mothers away from home. It was always comforting to see her beautiful smile, adoring disposition and motherly charm in our everyday life.
She is now in the hands of the Lord, safe and secure from all of life's up and downs. I join hands with all FAMUans as we share in your grief. We are all richer as a result of having had Mrs. Foster in our midst.
May God continue to bless and keep you.

In 1966, as a youmg man away from home and my mother for the first time, there was Mrs. Foster to let me feel a mothers love. Although I had to share her with my fellow band members, she was all mine in my heart.
May GOD bless the entire Foster family and receive one of his angels that has resided her on earth for a wonderful 85 years.

I remember Mrs. Foster as a lady filled with poise and grace. Her regal manner befitted her position as wife and queen of the "100." She managed a family as well as a career and sacrificed many many hours of family time so that her beloved husband could carry out his duties as "The Law." She will be missed by her family along with the FAMU family whom will certainly feel it equally so. (Donald Turner '67)

Oh Wow! I loved Mrs. Foster so much. I will never forget in 98 we stopped at a Golden Corral and there was this game with a grip on it that grabbed stuffed animals.
Mrs. Foster did not have any quarters to play the game so she turned to us and asked us for quarters. We gave her all the quarters we had and watched her play it over and over.
There was this one stuffed animal she kept going after but she could not get it. She turned and said "Phooey! I wanted that stuffed animal so bad, this game is not fair". My freshman brother's and I hit the ceiling with laughter because she was the sweetest and cutest woman on earth.
I had the opportunity to go to Dr. Foster's home one day and when I saw her beloved stuffed animal collection I was in awe. I now know why Mrs. Foster's energy was so contagious to every student she encountered on the hill. She was as warm, soft, sweet, and cuddly as every single one of those stuffed animals.
Thank You Mrs. Foster for showing us all that LOVE is the key and the way to be.

I too, share in your loss. Mrs. Foster was a great lady, and a loving supporter of not only her real family, but her FAMU and "Marching 100" families, as well. Her smile and conversations will be sorely missed. It seemed like only yesterday that I drove you and Mrs. Foster to Atlanta for an event. She talked the whole way there, and made it very easy for me to stay awake. :)
A dedicated, caring, and devoted woman was given to us for 85 years, and I pray that God will continue to bless you and your family during your time of grief.
