Faye's children, Kim, Lorri, Kelle and AJ. God blessed you with a beautiful. strong, loving Mother. I was blessed to have met Faye at the end of her life. But, I felt that I had known her all my life. We bonded instantly. She told me about her health conditions right away. With our faith in God, our relationship blossomed, and was based on God's love, cooking, worship and love for our Jesus and our families. Being with Faye I learned that my little pains were nothing compared to what she was living with daily, yet she never complained. Lesson learned from my sister Faye. I have wonderful memories of being in the company of your Mom. As, I know that you will always have great memories, because her spirit lives in her beautiful children and grandchildren. Faye has left an amazing lagacy that will live on through her children, her spirit will always be with us.
God bless you, all in this time of sorrow.
