Michele,
I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't find out about calling hours until it was to too late to be there. If there is anything I might help you with, please let me know.

Uncle Fifi, Michelle, Steven, Lori and David, My heart aches for the loss of our dear Aunt Em. She was always there for me, which I have always appreciated more than anyone will ever know. Remember all those wonderful memories of her and the things she loved most, which all of you were at the top of that list. She is probably up there making Alan some of his faviorate rice pudding right this minute.

I will miss you all at the service, but will be there in heart, mind and spirit.

All my love, Jone El Faye
