Adolphus Foster

As you celebrate my homegoing, I pray that each of you will remember that I fought so hard to remain with each of you. I have finished my earthly course of life. My departure was all a part of God’s plan for me, so keep the faith. I am no longer walking my brief earthy journey. My memories will forever be enshrined in the fabric of the lives of those I touched over the years. I was always full of life, so remember me as a beacon of light guiding you through the darkness that exist in this world. In my absence, remember that my spirit lives on. I am now a gentle whisper in the breeze, a ray of sunlight on a cloudy day, a reminder that love knows no boundaries.
