Tom, Tim, Bobby & extended family...My deepest condolences to your family - I have many fond memories of your mother, and I was so grateful how she looked to help my Mom when her health was ailing. So many happy memories of life on Riviera Road...I still remember as a child all the times our Moms would be talking outside or we would stop to say hello when your Mom was doing yardwork. She always kept the house so nice. Your mother had a great laugh and when I was little, I always enjoyed hearing her laugh with my Mom and her favorite line was always, "the big dummy"! As a kid, I got a kick out of that anytime I heard her say that. I even have one of our old home movies where the neighbors had a New Year's Eve party at Haley's house.... Your Mom and Dad were both there and having quite the good time!!! I will keep you all in my prayers!

Faydene was one cousins on my father's side that I always enjoyed getting to see and getting to know more of as we got older. She may have been slightly older but will always remember the family reunions at her home and her always making me feel welcome. My thoughts and prayer are with her children and their families during this time.
