Nana,
I loved you like my own mother. I will never forget you. I will continue to take care of Delisa as I always promised you I would. Heaven has become an even better place now that you’ve entered. You will never be forgotten and your spirit will live forever. Embrace the loved ones who left before you and breath in heavens pure air and rejoice for you have just begun to live and live forever you will. I miss you!!!
Nana, you were always such a sweet spirited lady! We all considered you our Nana too!! Thank you for being so good to my children! I know Mallory talked about her visits with you often and enjoyed coming to stay with you so much! Everyone loved being around you and listening to your stories current and old!!! I will never forget when we walked down the sidewalk in the Greek village and you smacked Jeffrey in the back of the head and said you knew his A** deserved it!! LOL He couldn’t help but laugh as he grabbed his head and turned around. Your phone call wanting to know what he had done so you could beat that A** just recently cracked us all up!! We will miss you very much but I know you are already embracing Jack and your loved ones!! Give our daddy’s a BIG old hug for us!!! You breathe easy now and rejoice with our Father!! We love you!!!
My sweet and precious friend, Betty! Oh how many laughs did we share, how many antique stores did we visit, how many Krystal’s did we eat? The memories of our almost 30 year friendship are overflowing today. You were there for me in my most difficult time of my life and brought me into your loving family, where you made me feel one of your own. For that I am ever so grateful. I can see you now, dancing with Jack to “The Tennessee Waltz” and all of the GOLDEN OLDIES we would listen on Saturday night. You were always ” just a phone call away!” Thanks for ALL the memories we shared. I will CHERISH them for the rest of my life.. I will miss you … We LOVE you!
My dear sweet Aunt Betty. All of the wonderful, happy times I remember with our families. You and Uncle Jack were a significant part of our lives for so many years. Our first times in Norwayne, your move to New York and our many visits there and then Atlanta. Thank you for the summers I was able to spend there swimming in that beautiful pool. You are and always will be a very special beautiful lady and I will miss you. Please hug Uncle Jack and my sweet Mother and big kisses to you all. Love You. 3
Nana…. I was blessed to come to know you when Steve and Arlene began dating. I was just 15 years old. You were a wonderful woman with a kind and loving spirit who showed concern for everyone you met. You had a sense of humor that was beyond measure, and being in your company was always a pleasure. I can honestly say that to know you was to love you, and I certainly did. You will always hold a special place in my heart, and you will never be forgotten. Words can’t possibly convey how much you will be missed….May you rest in peace…..With tremendous love and respect….. Dink
Thank-you all for the kind words for my sweet Mother

Heaven has gained a true angel. I was blessed to know you and always enjoyed seeing you. God bless Nana, until we all meet again.

My dad has always spoken very kindly of Mrs. Foster; I just love hearing all of the stories with her in them of my dad and his best friend, Steve. I pray that you all find comfort in the beautiful memories you had together. Sending all my love your way. Jessica and Josh
I did’nt know her that well, only spoke a few times at family get togethers. She was always so genuin and such a kind person. I know she was a great mother\friend because her children are good people…She will be with Jack and in the lords hands forever now….RIP Mrs Foster
Betty, It was a blessing to know you. I will always remember your humor, you always made everybody around you laugh, thats a gift. You were a true gift to all who knew you, The greatest comfort of this life is knowing Jesus promised that one day we will go home to be with Him. Theres no place like home–especially when home is heaven…..Make the angles smile Betty……
Nana
over the past 35 years you have brought so much joy, laughter and love to my life. You are my mother in law, but over the years you became so much more to me. You became my friend, and one that I loved dearly. You were always there for me when I needed you and we shared some many good times…
Candlelight shopping, dinners, visits with Ann, daily phone calls and more.. I feel so privileged to have been able to care for you and listen to all of you stories, thoughts and wishes. I told you when you were bored here on Earth during your last month or so that we were going to “blow this pop stand and go all Thelma and Louise on the situation, without the over the cliff ending, of course….Well Thelma …you left me…
My heart is broken…I will miss you for the rest of my days…I will see you again..Please hug my Daddy for me..All my love…

I met Steve Foster in the 8th grade and we quickly became friends; we did everything together and we had a lot of fun. His family always made me feel welcome and my family welcomed him too. After a few years, he eventually married my cousin, Arlene. I always enjoyed our road trips to Alabama and Florida to see Nana; she always made me feel at home. We would have fun going to auctions and flea markets. She liked ruby red glass and would always want Steve to bid on it lol. I will miss you Nana. You will be the Ruby Red in heaven and for my friend, Steve, my other brother, if I can do anything I am just a phone call away. I love you.
so sorry for your loss, she was such a nice lady i know her family misses her greatly
we all do
Trey, Dee, Jackie, Lisa, Steve and family, Deon and I are so sorry for the loss of your sweet mother/grandmother. We were only with her a few times but it was evident how special she was to each member of her family. We pray that God covers you with peace and comfort during this difficult time of grief and the days to come.
So many fond memories. I have so many but can’t tell them all. Remembering our times in Donelson watching home movies and your good cakes and homemade ice cream. You and Jackie’s visit to Cross Plains to see Mammy and our trips to antique stores. Give my Daddy and my Mama a big hug and tell them I love them. Give my love to all my brothers, my sweet Barbara, and my loving sister Margie. RIP dear sister-in-law. I will see you all one day. My love and prayers to Sherry, Steve, Lisa Faye, and Jackie Kay. I love all of you and God bless you. Love you, Linda Gail
Sherry, Steve, Lisa, Jackie,
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I tried to think of my fondest memory and there were so many. Mammy brought me to Stone Mountain for so many vacations. Aunt Betty Ruth, Mammy, Jackie and me on our trip to Disney and Aunt Betty Ruth would say Mammy get little Tabby what she wants. Uncle Jackie throwing me in pool to teach me to swim and Aunt Betty Ruth would say Jackie you are going to hurt that baby, in the voice only she has. Aunt Betty Ruth you worked hard to brush my long hair and braid it, and it really hurt and pulled rough, but its the memories I will cherish. Kiss and hug tight my Uncle Jackie, my Aunt Margie, and my precious Mammy. Rest in peace, you are home where there is no more pain or sorrow and back in the arms of your love ones who left before you. We will all meet again one day. All my love, Tabby
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this loss of a mother, mother in law, grandmother, family member and friend. Losing a mom is hard but know she is now in the presence of our Lord and Savior and that there will be a grand reunion one day. Love from Gary, Debbie, Kris and Christina Clark and your auction family from Ole Hound Auction.
Nana,
It was truly a privelege knowing someone so beautiful and selfless. I admire you for always looking to the bright side of things and always putting others before yourself. You have held a special place in all of our hearts and you will truly be missed. I hope you look down on us and smile, and realize how loved you are. Heaven has gained another beautiful angel. Rest in peace, we love you.
Jules
Dear Family,
May Jehovah God comfort you during this time of loss. Though there may be little that can be said or done to ease your pain, may you find comfort in knowing that many care and sympathize with your sadness. Always know that Jehovah God is with you to strengthen and guide you. May your trust in his promise of a resurrection bring you peace. – Acts 24:15
Warm Regards,
