To Whitt, Keith, Kathy, Kim and your loved ones,

May you know you are in my prayers as God will comfort you through this time of loss. I am truly sorry I missed this not knowing anything until after Christmas where my cousin Artie and his wife Marcia Minter mentioned it to me. I was shocked. I want you to know how precious your family was to ours. We are really blessed in knowing your family, as my Moma really loved each one of you. You are all so special and so many fond memories we shared in growing up together. I thank God for the wonderful times at Monument Heights as I cherish them all. Elizabeth touch our hearts, she truly served God in everyway, loving caring, sharing, reaching out, she touched so many lives. We truly loved her and thankful for being a part of our lives. I am praying for you and your loved ones through this time of healing.
We love you.

Dear Kathy,

I know how much you love and cherish your mother and I can only imagine the void that her loss leaves. I pray that good and happy memories of times spent with her and lessons learned from her will help to fill the void and that God's very spirit will fill the rest. I love you and am keeping you and all of your family in my prayers.

+Dear Whitt, Keith, Kathy & Kim:

Elizabeth was such a wonderful woman of the Lord. She has done so much for our family all throughout the years. I can still remember some of the first experiences I had of having a home cooked meal brought over by Elizabeth over 40 years ago. She brought over many meals to our family, as I am sure she served many others! She was truly filled with the Holy Spirit and was a beacon of light for many others. What a blessing she was to so many and I know you all will hold and treasure all the memories of her. Elizabeth certainly witnessed to others without any effort on her part. It came natural for her to serve others. God has another Angel now, and may your family feel the warmth and love from so many friends and family.

Knowing Elizabeth and her extraordinary witness been such a gift to me. Her gentle spirit and great sense of humor will be sorely missed my many. Death is not extinguishing the light, but rather putting out the lamp because the Light has come. Whitt and family: may your precious memories bring you much comfort and peace.

I have known the Foggs all of my life. I have many good memories that include the Fogg's. Whitt and Elizabeth Fogg showed a rare and pure true love . They remained faithful and devoted to my family during some rough times. My father (Dick Ashby) considered Whitt and Elizabeth his very best friends, for life.
Elizabeth and Whitt visited my mother on the day before she became ill, and I was there, and so glad to have had that chance to see her and hug her , not knowing it was goodbye.
I believe Elizabeth is with her heavenly father and amongst the angels, and my wish and prayer now is for comfort and peace to her entire family.
