Dear Foley Family,

My heart is aching for the entire Foley Family. Your mom, grandmom, great grandmom was an incredible person and I'm so grateful and blessed to have had her in my life 🙏. I'll cherish the memories of our times together at our shore homes in Wildwood watching our grandkids grow and laughing together 🌞. My family and I send our thoughts and prayers to all of you during this most difficult time ❤. Rest in peace, my dear friend!

Joan Forte & Family

Wishing heartfelt love and support for the Foley Family. We have all hugged each other over the years through so much loss and it doesn’t get any easier. Your mother, my Godmother, had a special place in my heart, she is the last of a generation of very strong women that I have been very proud to love and respect. I know in my heart that she was greeted by all the angels that have gone before her, may she rest in peace.

To all our Foley family friends,
Jerry and I send our heartfelt sympathy to each of you.
Every parent’s death is a time of grief… and it hurts to be the oldest generation, always before we were ready for it.
Prayers and love, and fond remembrances to each oh you, as Wednesday at 11 am approaches
Much love, and hugs, Linda and Jerry

To me you were my aunt Doloras and my heart goes out to all of you in the Foley Family. Your Mother was a strong person . And proud to have known a person like her with all of her kind words she had given me over the years . And was one of my husband Steve’s favorite Aunt. to laugh with and now can share a joke with her again . In loving Memory peace be with your Family. Marianne Waterman.

Your Mother was a joy to talk to and made me smile . Always made me feel happy around her. Even Jim got to know her after taking her to weddings and parties and funerals . And Jim thoughts of her and I always she had a kind heart .

My beautiful mother, my mom. I will miss you so very much. I am happy you are with our Lord and Savior. You suffered enough in these past years. You were always so strong though. We talked almost every day for years and years until your hearing became a problem. We fought cancer lung cancer stage three and you beat it. You went through the chemo and the immunotherapy like a champ. I love you, mom. Looking through all our pictures and our videos you were remarkable woman. How can I pick just a few pictures say a few things about you at church there’s not enough time to tell all the stories. I will do my best though speaking at church. This is not goodbye as I will see you when it’s my turn to go. I will race into your arms and will be beaming with love. Until that day comes enjoy your time with the Lord, dad, and Claire and Aunt Agnes Kevin of the Andersons Lafferty’s and Cane’s. There’s too many to name and they’re all up there. well maybe not Helen and John Kane they might be still in purgatory. Ha ha I’m just joking. I’ll let you go but not for long. Always always. You will be my mom.

Dee, I will always cherish the years of memories we had together. I loved you like a second mother and loved our talks. Yes, you could be stubborn but I wouldn’t want it any other way!Ever since I got the call I’ve been looking through all the pics, a lot of you eating cake, us being goofy or us being us and it brings tears to my eyes. I know you’re finally with your loved ones but I wish I had just one more chance to say I love you. I’ll miss you, RIP Dee 💔
