Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

May God bless Officer Foster, her family, coworkers, and friends. Her memory will always be honored, and she will never be forgotten. I hope her children know what a hero their mother
is.

I am very sad to hear of Officer Foster's untimely death. Automobiles are the most lethal, yet underestimated killer of law enforcement officers.

I pray for her family, friends and colleagues. She now patrols a beat in Heaven with St. Michael. Though we are saddened by her passing we can find solace in knowing that she is in a better place.

Rest easy sister, we have the watch from here.
