Carolyn, I just heard that Jerry has left us. Both of you are special to me, though I have neglected you for too long. You know best of all how special he was; know there are many who appreciated him, too.
May Gods grace comfort you and your family in this time and may his grace continue to shine on your family.
We are so sorry to hear the news about Gerald. I feel certain he's celebrating in heaven with family and friends. One day, we'll see him again!

I am in shock. How can someone so full of life be gone? We miss our friend Gerald at work, but we were so happy he got to retire and spend time with his family. I know the last year will be treasured. To his family-please know how much all of his friends at the Main Post Office are thinking of, and praying for all of you. He was a beloved friend and co-worker. We miss his humor, and his kindness.
Judy, Brad, Andrew, & Bella-
So sorry for your loss. Thought and prayers with your family.

We are so glad that we were able to get acquainted with Jerry Foster and share Grandchildren. He is such a fine man, that his family loved very much. I know that he will be greatly missed by his sweet family. Thinking of you guys so much, Carolyn, Dan, Elizabeth, Josh, Eli, Judy, Brad, Andrew, and Isabella.
We send our love,
Judy and family, "Mr. Foster" was our mailman at my office at Little Rock National Airport. And he really was ours! We consider him part of our family. He was always so kind and friendly and we were very disappointed when he retired. Disappointed, but happy for him! Please know that we are praying for all of you as you go through this very tough event in your lives.
We are so sad to hear of your loss. May your sweetest memories make your hearts smile and may God give you comfort in the days ahead. We are sending our love and sympathy to you at this time. Blessings~

So very sorry. I know you are thankful for the time that you had with him Sat. Especially Andrew May God bless all of you.
Gerald Foster was a pleasure to work with and be around. He had a great sense of humor. So sorry for his family's loss.
I cannot express how incredibly sad this makes me. The last time I saw Gerald he was telling me how much he loved retirement & telling me all about his grandkids. I am glad he got to enjoy retirement for a while with his family, & am saddened that it wasn't longer. You are all in my thoughts. He will be missed by many, myself included.
