My deepest condolences goes out to the family. I loved faye like a sister. We worked at S&S for several years and she was a sweet sweet spirit. I'm very sorry that we lost contact with each other, because we moved in different circles. Gods plan we can not understand now, but we will all understand by and by. Hold on to God's unchanging hands. He will carry you through. Never out of heart or mind, just briefly out of sight, For parting cannot take away what time will reunite. God Bless and Keep! Love you all.
