Dear Fair Family~

It has been many years since we have seen each other but I have many fond memories of my childhood at your home. I grew up with Wendi and Mandi tagging along too. There are no words to take away the sorrow. Just to help ease the sorrow of the days to come. May you all know that you are in my heart and prayers. Memories are forever we will never forget. Take Care and God bless.
Love Sherri (Mallquist) Rayworth

Dear Fair Family,
I have known Mandie since high school and now our families go to church together. She is an exceptional person and I’m sure this is attributed to her upbringing. Although I never met Mr. Fair, I am certain he was a great man with an even greater moral compass. While you are mourning the loss of your loved one, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil in God's Kingdom. Take comfort in the wonderful memories you have of him. Be strong in your faith and put your trust in God. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Mandie and Dave, as well as the rest of the Fair family during your time of great sorrow.


God didn’t promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain. But God did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and a light for the way. And for all who believe in His Kingdom above, He answers their faith with everlasting love.
