Randy, Chad, Ragan, and families, My heart goes out to all of you during this most difficult time. Char was a great person whom we will all miss terribly. She is in a much better place now and better yet, with her three grandbabies. I have so many memories of Char that I will cherish forever. Especially a road trip to State Basketball Tournament that Nancy, Mom, Jodi and I got to take with her! We had a blast! God Bless all of you.....

I'm a Fairbanks on my grandmothers side, and a former Belt High School 1973 Alum! The Fairbanks are true American's and our home in Dedham MA is the oldest timber-frame home in the U.S.A. (1636) All Fairbanks, and Fairbank are from one family. She will be missed, and we will never forget her. She is our cousin, by name, and by blood. It takes a special man to have Fairbanks blood in you, and she is was truly special.
...God Bless her. Cousin Tom W. Crowell
