My condolences to all my cousins regarding the passing of their mother and my Aunt Joan. My memories of her are warm and loving. She was always over joyed to greet me with a big hug and loving smile. She would take me for numerous lunches at the Ponderosa with my mom and there were many laughs. She lived a long life and may she rest in peace.
Sending my deepest condolences to the Foster family.. May your many fine memories help you during this time of grief.
To Billy, Joanne and Kathy, I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was the kindest and most caring person I ever met, and I know she meant so much to all of you.
May God bless you all.
Love Allen
