To all the Fad and Diaz family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time. Your mom was a True Mom - welcoming to all. Many fond memories with Mrs Fad and the Fad family through the years .....From watching Scary Movies in the living room on Halloween with a houseful of teenagers to Wonderful Blue Hen Tailgates with the original Fightin Blue Hen table cloth she created...and the celebration of Blue Hen victories(National Championships) and weathering less than spectacular Blue Hen Season's - a true Blue Hen Fan a pleasure to have known!!

Mrs. Fad was my 4th grade teacher and one of my favorite. I was in her class nearly 40 years ago and she left such a positive impression on me that I can still tell you how her classroom was set up! My condolences to her family, may she be at peace.

Otto, Scott, Chris and Kathy,
You all know how much we thought of your mother. We will miss her dearly, especially this fall at Blue Hens football games. She was such a kind person and never had a bad word to say about anyone. The old Newark gang lost a great person. Amy, and the entire Fad family are in our prayers.

Amy was a "True Blue Hen" for sure! We enjoyed seeing Amy at UD football games and at the Blue Hen TD Club. The entire Fad clan is great, and as matriarch, Amy was the best. Our condolences to our friends, Kathy, Otto, Scott and Chris. Rest in Peace.

Oh my, I just saw where the celebration of life was last night. I am so sorry I missed it. Amy was a wonderful person. I have many great memories of her from the High School days and especially the Delaware football games. She is the true definition of a mother. Family was always first for Amy.. I am so sorry for Otto, Scott, Chris and Kathi. Losing a mother is really hard. Our thoughts are with you all

Dear Family, I am blessed to have known your wonderful mother....I will remember her with much fondness, a lot of laughs, and quite frankly, many teachable moments. She, without a doubt, was the ONE parent, who could ALWAYS "pick up" no matter how late Kathi and our crew were out at an event or a movie! She was very loved and will be very missed! I am unable to attend the Celebration of Life next week as we will be out of town, but please know I am thinking of you all! Many hugs! Love, Ingrid
