Rina and family,
I know you will miss her, but try to remember all the wonderful memories of her and know that her smile in heaven is even brighter than what it was in those memories.
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you say good bye.
love,
Robbie

To all the Foster family: We are so sorry for your loss. We know you will all miss her in the days ahead but what wonderful memories you have. Please accept our deepest condolences.

I have only known Virginia for less than a year, but how she has impressed an indelible image on my mind and in my heart. Virginia is the personification of Prov. 31, and the godly wife of Eph. 5. She is one that would be able to say without hesitation, "Follow me as I follow Christ....." (1 Cor. 11:1). I anticipate with fondness the great reunion of all the redeemed. Heaven becomes more of a reality when we deposit one of our loved ones there. "blessed are those who die in the Lord....." (Rev. 14:13).
Virginia has made a huge difference to the Farmington Church of Christ and Farmington, and it is a difference for the better. O that we could all have her love and spirit for people.
God's Blessing be on this wonderful family.
Mike Raine - brother in Christ, Friend
Prayers are with all of the family. She was a wonderful lady with a very special family.

My heart overflows with love for Virginia Foster and her family today and with sadness for how much the family will miss having her with them.
Virginia had a tireless and unwavering commitment to be an example, an encouragement and a teacher to all her family and everyone she met. I and many have felt the warm welcome of Virginia’s beautiful smile and laughter and I’ve seen that same sweet smile on the faces of her descendants. How many children know that Jesus loves them because Virginia, Mary Sue, Helen or Anita taught them in Bible class? What a wonderful legacy of laughter and joy through devoted service to God and family she leaves behind.
But, Virginia didn’t want to leave anyone behind, she wanted to go before and trust everyone to follow, knowing there are future generations to come that she will have to meet for the first time in heaven. If you knew Virginia Foster you knew Christ because she was singing He Walks With Me in her last days.

To all of the Fosters, I'm very sorry for the sadness of this time. Mrs. Foster was a very blessed lady and one whom I loved very much! She blessed all those who she came in contact with and she was wealthy beyond measure in family and friends. Her joy will always stay with me as I remember her smile and warm nature. I know she wanted me to preach her funeral and I'm very sorry that I'm not able to honor her desire in this manner. I'm honored that we had that close of a relationship but know she would be the first to be understanding in this matter. I love all of you her children, spouses, grandchildren, and extended family and am sorry I won't be with you as you pay tribute to her love, and faithful life. I know she depends upon Gods grace for salvation as do we all, but her faithfulness will always remain as an amazing example of dedication to Christ and His Church. May God give you all comfort at this time as you remember her loving life.

Helen and Wayne, and Foster Family. She was a very Blessed Lady and know that you're in our thoughts and prayers during this most difficult time. Helen, please let us know if there is anything we can do for you.
David & Melissa Jameson & family - friends
What a wonderful life and what a wonderful example for all of us! My thoughts and prayers are with you all as you say your good-byes for now. I know she is enjoying seeing those who have gone on before and knew that later she would see many friends and family that are still here. What a blessing for your family to have all those years of memories of such a godly woman! I hope to see that wonderful smiling face again, too.

I just found out about Virginia. She and Great Uncle Charlie were so joyful in their everyday life. I hold good memories of family get togethers at their home, playing baseball in the big field by their home. She was always laughing and had a big hug and smile for all. I loved her pies. Charlie was my grandmother's brother....the Foster family was always full of love. My mother, Juanita Bacus was her neice who also lived in Farmington, AR. I remember seeing Virginia wave as the school bus use to pick up Helen and Wayne for school when I was a child. Virginia made lovely curtains. She was a good wife, mother and great aunt. Prayers for all the Foster Family.
