Thank you so much!
Mr. Foster was an important part of my formative years having spent several years playing ball with Cindy, spending the night at each other’s houses, camping with both families. My heart breaks for you as I know how loved he is and how important his love is and I pray for comfort. I am thankful that he was such a strong Christian man because that is such a beautiful testimony for a life well lived. I pray Greg greeted him with the biggest hug as they are in the presence of Jesus together now.
Thanks so much Kathy , remember those times well. Stay safe.
Sorry to hear this as I graduated with his sister, Evelyn. He loved to tease us during our younger years. Hold on to his memories.
Thanks so much!
Our Love thoughts and prayers are with you all

Jess was one heck of a guy I enjoyed working with him at terminix it was a awesome experience. He was well loved and will be always in my thoughts. I was proud to know him.
Jesse was such a sweet and caring man. He was always ready and willing to help out his neighbors. He use to always stop and visit on his daily walks. He will be missed by his little neighborhood. Hold on to love he had for you all, life lessons that he taught, and all the wonderful memories that were made. Prayers for you all.
Thanks so much!
