FOSTER -- JOHN C. December 25, 1926 to October 17, 2008 Intelligent, loving, witty Father, Brother, Uncle, Grandparent, Mentor, WWII Veteran, Geophysicist and Friend who left us all indescribably heartbroken in the wake of his sudden departure. Loved deeply by his wonderful brother Mike; beautiful sister-in-law Dona; his blessed children Marjie, Bia, Linda, John and Jean; his gorgeous grandchildren Candace, James, Molly, Zach and Sylvie; and his precious great-grandchildren Savana and Kylie and many, many fortunate friends, classmates and fellow Naval shipmates too countless to mention. We miss you so much Daddy. You lived an incomparable life exploring for oil in Venezuela and in many other jungles of South America. We will miss your stories of the ocelots and the monkeys that visited your camps. We will miss hearing from you the loads of wild pranks you pulled on your fellow co-workers as you served Honeywell for many years in Puerto Rico. Your heart-breaking tales of combat will never be forgotten and your childhood memories always left us yearning for that simpler time. You had slain numerous dragons and endless trolls that hid beneath our beds. You kissed our booboos goodbye and wiped our fevered heads. Our lives will never-ever again be the same without you. We hope you finally get to meet Lana Turner, Betty Grable, and Ginger Rodgers and we thank you for your never-ending love, your permanent smile and your constant chuckling at your own silly jokes and find ourselves asking, "will the sun ever shine again?" XO

SZALAY -- Linda Kay Szalay, daughter of J.W. Savage Sr. and Vivian Pugh Savage, passed away at her home in Santa Fe, NM on October 21, 2008. Linda was born on November 22, 1942 in Grand Island, NE. Linda grew up primarily in Los Alamos, NM and graduated from Los Alamos High School. While attending the University of Wyoming, Linda received a scholarship from the Army Nurse Corps and was commissioned Second Lieutenant. In 1964, she graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree in Nursing. She was a member of the Tri Delta Sorority. Linda was married in Colorado Springs in 1964. She became the proud mother of two daughters, Diane and Kimberly. Linda's parents had taught her the value of having strong ethics, values and morals which she passed on to her daughters. While raising her family in Colorado and Montana, Linda pursued her nursing career taking care of newborns and the elderly. Following the divorce from her first husband, Linda reunited with her high school sweetheart, Jerry Szalay. They were later married in Albuquerque, NM and have since resided in Santa Fe County. It was Linda's deep love of babies which lead her to obtain specialized education as a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. For many years Linda kept constant vigil over her "little ones" in the Neonatal Intensive Care Nursery. In turn, many grateful families kept in contact with pictures and letters which Linda treasured. Her dedication to caring and nurturing her babies also translated to a deep commitment to her family. She was the bond that kept the family strong and united. Family and friends alike would seek her advise, love and support. Many think of Linda as one of the strongest people they have ever known. Linda, as our perpetual caregiver, we know you will continue to watch over and guide us.
