Tim, Sharon, Tick and Danny and all family members:

It is really hard to believe that Faye has passed away. It just seems like yesterday that Faye and I were hanging out singing songs, laying in the sun and babysitting for the neighbors. Time has sure flown by, but one thing for sure, memories were created during mine and Faye's lifetime. I still laugh at some of the things we did. Some things, I would never tell anyone. My mom would probably still get mad at me to this day. They were our secrets. Tim you were a great husband to Faye. I remember when she met you. She fell completely in love with you!! I didn't get to see Faye much once she left home. Life just got in the way. I moved away with college and then by jobs. Please take care and know that God is with you every step of the way during this difficult time. Mom wanted to me also give her condolences as well. She and Faye kept in contact through the years through visits and phone calls. Mom was devastated when she heard the news. We all know that Faye is now in a better place but we all will sure miss her.
