My name is Jose Soto and today is Sept. 22, 2022

I was sitting at my desk in my home (in Jacksonville, NC.) making calls when suddenly the name "Frost" came to my mind and I thought about how as a child I lived with a Foster Family for a while, and their last name was "Frost" then the name "Emma Frost" entered my thoughts, and I began to wonder if that was indeed was the correct name of the very kind woman who had opened her heart and home, and care for me. I got on Google search and the first result I saw was on the Marvel Comic character by the same name... (Emma Frost) so, I edited my query to... "Emma Frost Enfield, Connecticut" and that led me to her Obituary here on the Brown Memorial Funeral Chapels and Creamation Services Website. I read her Obituary and when I saw her husband's name (Stanley W. Frost) I knew I found my Foster Mother. Right now as I write a floodgate in my soul is opening, because, so very long ago, This beautiful soul was used to shape and mold me into the gentleman that God intended for me to become. 

I don't remember to many of my experiences as a child in Foster Care, because I had placements in so many Foster Homes, Group Homes and Emergency Shelters with so many Families, and in many Connecticut Communities. However I do remember living with the Frost Family and attending Kosciuszko Junior High. I'm 59 now (born in 1963) which means I had to be between 11 & 13 years old in 6 to 8th grade when I lived in Enfield, CT. This means my Foster Mother "Mrs. Emma E. Frost" would've been between 53-55 Yrs. old when I was in her care. I seem to remember being closer to her than to her husband (my Foster Father) because she was a Housewife & Mother and Mr. Stanley W. Frost worked as a School Bus Driver (I hope I remembered that correctly, If not, please forgive me.)

I can only imagine that I must have been a handful for them, because at that time I was acting out because of the abuses I experienced at an orphanage I was placed in at age 9. called, "Warehouse Point State Receiving Home" located in Windsor, CT.

I deeply regret how I treated the good people who showed me love and kindness. The neglect and negative behaviour of the heartless, abusive and angry people that didn't care about no one but themselves damaged me as a child and a young adult. And even as a mature adult of 59 years I still lack complete normalcy in many areas because I didn't develop emotional, social and family relationships the way most people do, having been raised up in a secure and loving enviroment. But, today I still thank God for the few people I was able to be influenced by in a positive way. There were many dark times in my childhood, but the light of this godly Mother's (Mrs. Emma E. Frost) love made a huge difference in my life and I would have been remissed if I didn't take the time to acknowledge my Foster Mom who loved me, when I didn't know how to love me or accept her love. I'm sorry MOM and I love you and always will!

GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE!

My belated and most sincere condolences to the Family for your great loss and may you find comfort in the arms of our faithful Father in heaven, in Christ Jesus name, Amen!

Love Eternally,

Elder Jose Soto, [Jacksonville, NC]
