Ann Foster and Jim,
I was deeply saddened to hear of your Mother’s passing, but it is good to know that she is in a better place, and free of pain. It is also a difficult time for you, since this comes so close to Christmas. I felt a real bond for your Mother, and she was one of my very favorite cousins. I wish I could be with you on Sunday, but I won’t be able to, but please know that I am with you in spirit. It is also comforting to know that your Mother has been reunited with your Father, and also with my Father. Just imagine the time they will have together in eternity. My prayers are with you and with Claudia during this time and in the days ahead. Take care,
Walter

SORRY WE CAN NOT BE THERE, BUT IT IS HARD TO GET AWAY FROM CHURCH THIS TIME OF YEAR.
Ann Foster, Jim, Claudia – I send my love to all of you. I will keep you in my prayers.
Ann Foster, John, Jim, and Sarah,
I am so sorry for your great loss. Tweedie Ann was
such a special part of Oak Forest and a dear friend.
I always enjoyed our visits and our occasional
games of Trivial Pursuit. I know that she missed
Gus tremendously and is now with him in a better
place. I regret that I will be unable to attend the
service Sunday as I am in Atlanta on business.
Please know that the entire family is in my
thoughts and prayers as you grieve for both Gus
and Tweedie Ann. I will miss them both greatly.
If there is anything I can do, please do not hesitate
to call upon me.
Sincerely,
Allan Morse
