I have never met Faye, but my Dad went to school with her and I recently found his year book entry with her's above. She sounded lovely and although it was heartbreaking to find she has already passed as soon as I discovered her, I'm glad to read that she had a loving life, my condolences for her family.

Our sincere condolences to Faye's family. Such a tragedy, first Bill in January and now Faye in June. Hopefully they are together again and keeping each other company! Bless them! Scott and Nancy (Nykvist) Underwood, Watson, Louisiana

To Faye's Family and Friends:

I was shocked to learn of Faye's passing. I am a retiree of Natick Labs and worked closely with Bill for a number of years............needless to say his passing was quite a shock. He retired a few months before I, but took the time to come to my farewell party. Always the gentleman. Faye was a lucky woman to have found Bill. The only comfort I find in this tragedy of Bill and Faye's early passing is that they are together once again, as it should have been for many years to come.

God Bless both of them.
