I never met Mrs. Mary A. Foye but I work with her son Chris(Will)Foye the past year and learned so much about Mrs. Mary through him talking to me of the greatness about his mother. I lost my mother back in February of this year and Will has been a great inspiration to me and my family during the time of death of my mother and I'm most thankful of that. I'm praying 🙏🏾 big bro and I know that God will see you and your family through these most difficult times
Every time I would see Sis. Foye at church, she always had a beautiful smile and only had nice things to say, it was lovely being in her presence, I would tease with her about Chris being my son also. My heartfelt condolences to the family with prayer and much love.
Loving,Caring,Sweet and Understanding are just a few words that express your heart. You meant so much to many but for me you treated me like a son. You always smiled when I was in your presence which let me know that you loved me. Chris and I shared many moments with you and you gave us that motherly gaze as if to say stay safe and out of trouble. I spent my teen years til today with Chris (my brother and best friend). I send my love to the family... Chris, Tony and Tanya.. You all are my family and I feel a loss just as you.. Rest in love mom! No more pain, no more suffering!
My Deepest condolences to the Foye family. ~ Jones & Peace Family
Auntie, I love you with all my heart. There is not a day that goes by that I don't think of you. I always ask my mom, your sister, about you when I'm checking on her and Uncle Charles. I will miss going by your home either picking you up to go shopping with mom and or just stopping to see if you and Pee-wee needed anything. I will miss you standing at the door watching my dog Moses run and trying to love on you. I know you are with God, so my heart is happy that you are in the right place and you are loved even more. You were the sweetest of all. May heaven smile upon you. Tracey McPhail-Henry
