Condolences to the family of Ms. Faith Ringgold,
What a beautiful mind she had and shared with us through her amazing artwork. We thank you that we had the privilege of `knowing´ your dear one through her works.
One of the writers who wrote a few chapters in one of the greatest books ever written said: "You have faith, and I have works. Show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."
Your dear one, Faith, showed us her works!

Condolences to the family Faith Ringgold, who was a wife, a mother and no doubt a good friend to those who knew her personally and professionally.
God is close to the broken hearted, and there is never a tear drop that he doesn't see. He knows when a sparrow falls from a tree. There is never a moment when God doesn't care, and never a time when he won't hear your prayers. Better days are ahead, and may he give you the strength needed as you continue on this journey of life.
Respectfully,

I met Faith in February, 1967 when I was a first year teacher at P.S.100 in Manhattan. She was the art teacher, and we ate lunch in her room. She was an inspiration to so many. I was fortunate enough to see her first exhibit. She will be missed. My sincere condolences are extended to her family.
