Six years have passed since we lost Fay. She never gave up on life no matter how many hardships she endured. She was an inspiration to our family. I hope she and her beloved dogs are rejoicing in Heaven.

What a great loss to the AA community! Those of us you touched with your Faith, love and gentleness will miss you greatly. Your years of service to the men and women of AA will be missed. Your prayers for those of us who struggled from time to time will, I'm sure, continue through your new journey. Say hello to Chicken Charlie, James O., Dirty Harry and Chick Thompson. I'm sure they were there to greet you when you arrived. Love you Fay and thanks for being there for us. Garland R.

Fay's passing leaves such a void in so many lives. Her positive and loving attitude towards all are a great example to emulate. Even when feeling ill and asked how she was, she would say "getting better every day". She was diligent in prayer for others and loved all "until they could love themselves". She will be missed very much. Wishing comfort and peace to those who will miss her.
