Diane, I am so sorry to hear about your Mom. She was a very sweet lady who I will always be thankful for. She made such a difference in the lives of so many children that attended Summer Grove Elmentary. I always felt so comforted to know she was keeping a careful watch over Jeremy for me. She was a blessing to me and I know now that she is truly being blessed by God for all of the good she did on earth. May God Bless You and your family!

I extended sincerest condolences to the Adcock family. Faye was a great lady who went the extra mile to help others along the bumpy road of life.

I especially enjoyed knowing Faye as my high school classmate,

Blessed are they who mourn for they shall be comforted.

Growing up, the 'Fellas' had only a few mothers to keep us in line, and your mother was definitely 'Mom.' We all turned out pretty well because of her being in our lives. I loved her a lot and feared her a little (Only Moms know how to make that work). I'm so sorry for your hurt and the Adcock family is very much in the prayers of the extended Pledger family.

Cousin Faye and family were such a vital part of my life growing up. I have wonderful memories of spending time with Faye, Stanley, Dianne and Bruce in the summers as a child. Ahh the scent of the paper mill. I knew when we were getting close. And the largest fig tree in the world in their back yard.

Later, when they moved to Shreveport, Faye was a second Mom to me, as Dianne and I spent thousands of hours together. Faye was always there with her witt and wonderful laugh. A true treasure. Funny, to this day, many many years later, her telephone number is still etched in my brain.

I love you Faye. Thank you for all the love you shared with me.
