Aunt Fay, I remember you from my childhood and teen years. You and your sisters use to bounce me and my brother on a blanket by a tree that lighting had struck.
That is a memory I cherish. Teen years in California also had fond memories and I thank you for the joy you gave me.
Faye will always be missed as a Grandmother to Nicole and Derek. She always had good things to say about all. Thanksgiving, Christmas at Bill and Faye's home.
Sherry, Bill and now his beloved wife, Faye will always be in ours hearts.
The best in laws anyone could ask for.
Ron & Don, having never meet you, but hearing about you from Faye you must have wonderful hearts. God Bless all

I will sorely miss that gentle lady who had a kind heart and a smile for all. "Cheers" to the lady whose glass was always half full. She also has my gratitude for taming Daddy; he finally found peace when he met her. Thank you, Faye, for loving him. I will always love you.
In our thoughts and prayers.

I just wanted to share an encouraging scripture with your family at John 5:28,29 it says "do not marvel at this because the hour is coming on which all those in memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". This is definitely a time that all of us wait for, to see our loved ones again.
