Aunt Fay was beautiful inside and out. As a little girl I always looked forward to seeing her at grandma and grandpa's house. She alway gave me a hug with a huge smile and a little giggle. She only ever had kind words for anything or anyone. She was truly full of love and special. She will be missed by many.

I sure love aunt Faye. Times in that home bring memories of laughter, giggling (LOTS of giggling), and love. Love for each other, and for everyone that entered. I feel she set the tone for her whole family - all of you reflecting that same sweet nature to all of us. What a legacy she has left, and the entire family carries it forward in a way I know that makes her proud.
