    Brian, Lynn, and Laura, your mom and dad are very special to the Richard Foos family. I remember outings with them on the boat, good times at ‘the Foos Farm’, visiting at your house.

    Aunt Carol, mom and I had such a wonderful trip to Italy with you and Uncle Herb! Many prayers and hugs to you all.

    The video is awesome!! It is a loving tribute!
