Faith,
You touched so many lives with your kind and generous ways. I was blessed to have known you and know that everyone you came in contact with through STAP was lucky to have had you in their lives. May your sweet spirit live on in all of us. You will be missed! May you rest in peace my friend. Love, Mary

Aunt Faith will be missed more than mores can say. We are thankful for the time she spent with our girls. The times she spent with them will last in their hearts. She will never be forgotten. She was a kind and sweet woman. For all the things she did and the people she touched. I can't even write what I want to say. I will not be there on Friday in person but this whole family will be there in spirit.
