I LOVE YOU NANNY FAY!!!! There will never be another like her, and no one can replace my best friend, doubled as my grandmother. She's gone physically, but I know she'll stay with me forever.

Kiah,
I can honestly say, “I know what you are experiencing”. When my mother (Lula) passed away I felt empty. When your mother leaves this world and starts on her new journey we whom are left behind starts to think what could have been different. Kiah it’s nothing you could’ve done different. You and your mother were so close like twins and I know you are hurting. But remember Kiah God knows best.
When I received the phone call on Wednesday that she was gone I could not believe it. But I look upon our father in heaven and all I can say, “Another soldier is on her way”. Fay was a strong person whom fought her sickness for many years. But I believe Kiah that your mother and God had a special talk and within that talk they came to a conclusion and upon reaching that conclusion Fay knew her work here was done.
Whatever we asked Fay for she made sure we had it. Kiah stay strong and look above and remember Fay will never be forgotten. Sorry, I could not be with you during this difficult time but remember I am near and I will keep you and your family in prayer.
Toe Toe,
Viola Charity & Family
