Fae was a wonderful person. I have enjoyed working with her as both a former coworker, friend, and as the occassional customer over the last 20 years. She will be missed.

I am very sorry to hear about the loss of Fae, she was a very good friend to me and a joy to be around. We will miss her in our work with the Navy Yard in her duties. I had known and worked with her for about 25 years, she will be sorely missed.

My heart goes out to all her family, especially DyAnn and Anne, of whom I work with and share a friendship with.
Fae, live on in peace with your husband.
