Hi Betty & Earl, George and I was very sad to learn about the death of your Mom - God had given her long life - Betty, I saw Earl at Sharon's mom birthday celebration about two Sundays ago and Earl said that your mom was a JEWEL!!! A very nice, loving and caring Mom - Betty, God know best - and knew it was time for her to go home (Heavenly Home)
Sorry, George and I will not be able to attend the funeral services - We love you both and will keep you in our prayers!
Love, George & Lilly Faison

This was the hardest thing I have ever had to do. You were my rock and my best friend no one was closer to me than you. When I felt myself slipping away you held on tight. When My eyes dawned another day you greeted with smiles,courage, and love. Am so thankful that GOD lent you to me for the a season and that I had you to hold my hand. I remember the soft moments and our quiet talks the love you gave to me the tears you wiped away the joy you brought me when I looked into those beautiful eyes . I remember how your eyes glowed and shimmered even when you were in pain. I was so lucky that I shared your life and your spirit you molded me into the woman I am today thank you for that I love you.
