Mommy foster was a blessing to all of us. She was always an inspiration and a blessing to all the people she came across, specially her brothers and sisters in Christ. I loved sister foster for her kindness and ability to bring people together. She went through a lot in her journey but she was always relying on God for her strength. May the Lord continue to bless and keep us strong in the passing of our sister and family in Christ at Summit City Church of Christ. Thank you and God be with you all.

Sister Foster´s unwavering faith and devotion to God were a constant source of inspiration to me. I will always remember her strength and the way her actions so beautifully reflected her love for the Lord. The song a hard fighting soldier truly captures the essence of her spirit-steadfast, unwavering and filled with Grace. She faced life challenges with such courage and resilience, setting a remarkable example for us all. Her memory will be a cherished blessing and I will always carry her example of faith and kindness in my heart. My thoughts and prayers are with the family during this difficult time.
