Mrs. Faye was a lovely, godly lady. I got to know her through the ‘telephone ‘ Sunday School class at GSFBC. It was a joy to visit with her and Mr. Ray. She was always so encouraging, positive, and a wonderful example of what a Christian woman should be. I am very thankful for the opportunity to have known her.
I’m so sorry to learn of your mother’s passing. She was a special lady and a delight to work with at LRCC - on Markham and Parkwest locations. Prayers for all of you.

Kirby and family I am so proud to have known both your mom and dad. I of course knew Faye better. We always had such a good visit and I loved her sense of humor. She always amazed me how she would get in her chair and pull that leg up in front of her!!! Your mom always told me how her boys took such good care of her. She was proud of you both. May God give you all comfort in the days ahead. Love yall
