My heart is sad to hear of the loss of Foy; but also my heart rejoices that his life's journey here on Earth is done. He will hear "Enter in Thy Faithful Servant ". He & Johnnie Sue are Dear to ALL my family, as well as Betty Ann, Alice Kay, plus their families. I treasure my memories of growing up in Memphis & being at church with each of you.

Prayers for your family. The Williams kids have so many fond memories of Foy and his family. Our families enjoyed so much together from the dominoes to the fishing and oh those trips to the cellar, all night long sometimes. His domino playing buddies are ready to greet him. What a great life he had!

I am praying for strength, peace & comfort for Johnnie Sue & entire family. So grateful to Alice Kay & Betty Ann for all of their support through this journey. Foy was a lucky man to have such great support from his family. They had him pretty spoiled!!!
I remember the time when I was just passing through town & I stopped by to visit for a little while. I was very tired & still had a long drive. Foy & Johnnie Sue encouraged me to go to bed & take a nap & they would watch my baby, their great neice. I was so tired that I took them up on their offer. When I woke up, not only did they take care of my baby, they also filled my car with gas & offered me something to eat. They are the best! So thoughtful! Love them!
I remember when I was a kid and he was chewing tobacco. He helped me pull a prank on my 3 older brothers. There was a separation in the papers of his tobacco package. This allowed him to put raisins on one side of the tobacco pouch. When my brothers came around, I reached into his tobacco pouch and pulled out some raisins & put them in my mouth. This juice looked just like tobacco juice!! My brothers all thought I was chewing tobacco. Thanks Foy for fun memories.
My heart and prayers are with you and the family. He was a wonderful man and will always be remembered. One day we will all get to see him again. Until that day, may the peace of God rest of you and the family.
