We wanted to pass along our gratitude to the Lord for placing Sister Faye into our lives. We are praying her family in the wake of her absence from this earth. We rejoice that she is in her heavenly home, with our Heavenly Father, where she is at rest in Him. Our family has thrived in this world, partially in thanks to her prayers on our behalf.
With great love and affection,
