Wanda,Steve & Kaye,
Sometimes in life we take things for granted as well as family and friends.
It is very difficult to loose a mom that was such a loving and caring person. I wish that we had taken more time to spend together, but the time we did was a lot of fun and very memorable. Your Mom and Dad were wonderful. I felt very close to them even though we were miles apart. God Bless all of you.You are in our prayers.God Bless you Uncle Bob and Aunt Jean.

Bobby, Kay, Michael, "little" Bobby, Rhonda, Jenny and all of grandma's great grand children.
We have all been given a tremendous blessing by having grandma in our lives.She taught us many things - how to love, laugh, pray, live, and take each day in stride. All of us will look back from time to time and remember something she said or did...treasure those moments and give thanks that she was there to touch our lives and make them better.
Love
Dee Dee

Mike, Rhonda, and Jenny Pooh:
What to say to your siblings? We had the best sets of grandparents and a grandchild could ask for. I would not have traded anything in this world for any four of them. They all loved us very dearly. I am here for yall. No words will ever heal the pain we go through but God as our Rock and Comforter will. I love yall

Dee Dee,
My heart goes out to you because not only did you lose your mother but your best friend. When at times, you felt like no one was there for you, youknew that Grandma was there. She loved you and dad very much and was proud of you both. Keep your head up and just remember what great parents you had. She would not want us to be sad beacuse she is where she wanted to be about 5-6 years ago when she told you and I she wanted to go home and not her home in Seaford but her heavenly home. I love you

Dad and Mom,
I really don't know what to say to my own parents in time like this but I love you both and here for you. Dad, I really don't know how are family would have turned out without Grandma's Christian influence on everyone. She was proud to have you as her son. She love you very much. Mom, I agree with what Dee Dee said the other day. I doubt she would have made it this far without you being there to take care of her and help her for at least the past 7 years after papa passed away and even since yall moved up there before he passed on. I know it was hard because I could see it at times when I was around but you did an excellent job. I love yall

Aunt Jeannie was the most caring people I've ever known. At some point along the way she took us all under her wing,Bill Jr,Art and me. I treasure the summers I got to go to her home, especially the one I spent there alone. She always looked up and now she's with her Lord and the family who have already passed over. She'll be there to welcome the rest of us in. Bobby, Kaye and Wanda - she loved you best. I know you will continue showing love as she did. Grandchildren, You were all special to her. We were all blessed to have been related to her here on Earth. We'll see her there.
Lara and Art.

I am so sorry that Jean passed...I was her hairdresser and always looked forward to seeing her smiling face on Saturdays. I will miss her so, but now she is up in the heavens with the angels and her husband and she is thinking of ways to make crafts for all the little children that sit beside her....She was a very kind and loving woman. May the Lord always be with her and her family! With Loving Thoughts, Lisa Kim

Dee Dee,

I just wanted to tell you how much I love you and how very sorry I am that you have lost your best friend and your mother. She loved you very much and was very proud of you. Always remember the good times that you have shared with her. As hard as it's going to be for all of us, she would want us to pick up and carry on the great legacy that she left. I love you.. and just like she would want it we have to pull together as a family!

Dad and Mom,

Maybe this is a little strange for a family member to express condolences but I just wanted to say that I am very sorry for your loss. Grandma did a wonderful job raising you and I couldn't ask for a better grandmother or a better dad. I see a lot of her character traits in you as well as many of papa's. She was very proud to have you as her soon. Mom, you did a great job taking care of grandma. She loved you dearly. I know that we all have a lot of to deal with over the next several months, but if there is one thing I know for sure is she would want us to pull together as a family. I love you both very much and I couldn't ask for a better set of parents! Thank you for everything you do, and thank you for giving me such a wonderful loving grandmother!

Dear Family,
I am very sorry to hear of Jean's death but know that she is home with the Lord she loved and served faithfully for so many years. I had the privilege to serve with her at Seaford Baptist Church and was her pastor for some 10-12 years. It was a blessing to watch her teach the children and I've often wonderd how many lives she changed by her caring and loving words. Dr. Richard D. Harrell, Sr.

I am sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Faherty. I worked with her for many years at Eastern State Hospital with the Department of Rehabilitative Services. She was one of the nicest people I had ever meet. I was so young when I started working and she always steered me in the right direction; staying on top of what I did and how I did it. She was like a mother to me. May God Bless you all in your time of bereavement.

Steve, Kay and Wanda, I think you know that when you lost your mom we lost a mom too. A grandma to Jordan and a mom to John and I. Our hearts go out to you and your family and along with our prayers come our love.

I am very saddened to hear about your loss. Jean was such a wonderful, caring and loving woman. I will miss seeing her on Saturdays at the beauty shop and her absence will be felt by a number of the friends she made throughout the years. My deepest sympathy to Wanda and the entire family.
