I only have the fondest memories of my Grandma Faye. She was so wonderful to everyone in the family and I'll miss her tremendously. Her artwork is beautiful and everyday I look at it, it reminds me of what a wonderful, loving person my grandma was on earth and is in heaven. She'll live forever in our memories.
