Although I had not seen much of you in the latter years, I remember your stay with us as I was a teen. I remember sitting down in your room and playing video games and laughing together as you cussed the t.v. set!! You may have never known it, but you taught me alot of things, like to not sweat what you can't control. I learned alot from you during your stay with us and I appreciate that. Love you always Auntie Faye, Amy

Aunt Faye, you were my best friend, my side kick, my garage sale navigator, I am missing you dearly, and I am so sad you are gone. Tanya is missing you. I so wanted to see you in May, but you can see me always now, keeping me on the straight and narrow.You started life out hard, but you managed to continue through it with a smile on your face, and a twinkle in your eyes. You were such a giving person, such a loving person, and asked nothing back but friendship. You took knocks in life, and all you did was open the door. You faced fear with such passion, and shouted, give me your best shot, im ready to take you on. Noone can replace you in my heart faye, I had a special love for you that remains untouched by others. And will forever remain in my heart, as your memory will. I hated that I lived so far from you, noone navigated as well as you did. You were the best Faye. Noone posesses your zest, noone ever matched your passion. Noone ever will. I love you Aunt Faye and will forever be missed. Tell my dad and ET and Terry how much I miss them. I'll see you again one day.

Hearing of your illness from my e-mail friend, Gayle, I wrote you a lengthy letter. In it I advised of my prayers for your recovery. I hope you received it and it helped a little. Guess I'll never know.

I have so many memories...some lost, but not those we shared, Faye. Our time was special, never like an Aunt, always a special friend. We shared our hearts, and you take part of mine with you now. Good Journey, dear friend, I love you, Pearlie

Faye -- I remember when you lived with me and my parents in my basement and we snuck in a kitty for you even when dad said he was allergic. I still have all the jewelry you got me for Christmas. You will be missed dearly and remembered often.

I'm so sorry for the loss of Faye. Chet tells me that she "possessed an inner peace". That is a special gift from God. Wish I could be there with the family. Even though her relatives live all over the U.S. now, I'm sure none of us will ever forget Faye that knew her. Love and Prayers from cousin - Shirley Meade Rineer.

Faye,
I will dearly miss the birthday cards, Christmas cards, and occasional letters that I received from you. I will also, as many people will, miss your ever present smile that graced your face. You had something that many of us will never have in our lifetimes. AN INNER PEACE. God Bless You Sis.
