It is with concern for his family and friends we announce that Tom Foster, husband of The Rev. Joyce Foster for 62 years, departed this life peacefully on 4 August after suffering with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) for many years. Tom was born in 1937 in Mills Township near Gore Bay, Manitoulin Island. We uphold Joyce and her family as they grieve, confident that God’s grace will sustain them and prove to be a consolation for them.

Joyce serves as Deacon Associate of the Parish of Manitoulin Island.

“I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

~ Romans 8.38-39
