Remembers kindness and graciousness of Jane Davis Foster

Charlene Sharpe Childers writes to the family of Jane Davis Foster:
I've just heard about the death of Jane from my sister, Rita. Had I known earlier, I would have come to the funeral home. My heart is so saddened for each of you because I understand the pain of losing someone you loved so much.

My memory travels back so many years ago to the days I spent time with your mom and dad. Jane was the perfect lady....always being so kind and gracious to me. I was so young then but I can so vividly recall her sweetness . Those are the fond memories I have of both her and your dad.

I will pray for each of you in the coming days as you struggle with your loss.--Charlene Sharpe Childers
