CSM Yates & Family, So sorry to hear of Fay's passing. The military community is very small and so we grieve with you. Hold memories close in your heart and lean into God's ever-loving arms. He will carry you through your time of grief. You are in our prayers. Blessings, Jerry & Joyce Blackford

My beloved wife, Miyoko McAfee, who passed on Dec. 6, 2013 enjoyed many hours of camaraderie with Fay at the LEAD Ceramics Center. Fay helped her to learn the fine art of ceramics. I now pray that they are sharing stories about their beloved grandchildren at the side of our Lord. Rest in peace Fay. Some day Rowdy and I will join our beloved spouses, forever.
