Sincere condolences to the Foster family, and to Winston’s friends. I had the honor and blessing of knowing Winston at St. Mark church. He was a faithful deacon who loved God and served everyone with utmost love and humility, just like our Lord Christ. I remember his encouraging words, uplifting smile, and strong prayers. Me and wife Mira feel lucky that we got to know him closely as we attended liturgies on Wednesday in the church. I will always remember him and continue to learn from his dedication. Rest it peace beloved Winston. Enjoy the glory of heaven with our Lord Jesus Christ whom you loved and served faithfully.
