Chester, I called Aunt Faye a couple of times a year and I could not reach her this year. Knowing her age, I looked occasionally at the obituaries and just discovered tonight that she had passed away. I loved her so dearly. When I first met her I was so impressed with her youthful attitude and happy personality. I always told her I hoped to always be like her. I think I said it each time we spoke. She was such a wonderful person and someone to look up to and I certainly did!! My memories of the farm and she and Bulger will forever fill my heart. She sent me a picture of Bulger sitting in my lap which I will always treasure!
I so loved your mom!! With great sympathy, Donna Lum Murray Bowlin
