I ran across Fay´s obituary while looking up info on her daughter Nancy (Naomi). We grew up with the Fisher family in Oak Hill Park. I´m Cheryl (Abramson) and just lost my own mother, Sarah, last year. My sister Renee (who passed in 2020 from Covid) and Susan were close childhood friends. My mom and Fay were good friends, and it´s hard to believe that a lifetime has already passed. I remember both Fay and Mel, Nancy and Susan fondly. Sending my deepest condolences (albeit late), know what it´s like to lose a beloved Mom (and sister ) to the family. I remember you all well.

It hurts so much when we lose the good ones - yet it also makes us realize how truly fortunate we have been all of these years to be blessed by their presence. Our wonderful Fay was truly one of the best of those good ones and we will all miss her terribly. My heartfelt condolences to my sisters Susan and Naomi - how truly fortunate we all were to have been blessed with such wonderful parents!
