My prayers are with you and all of your family and friends. Faith was a beautiful person whom befriended my daughter Bianca in the 4th grade. At SVP they became a group of four friends that were inseparable. Faith was smart, mature and kind even at a young age. She was the one who always kept the rest of the girls in line and avoided trouble or drama. I always felt that Bianca was safe and cared for any time that Faith was around. We are heartbroken by the news and offer our deepest condolences. Rest in Peace sweet Faith.

17 beautiful years of friendship that I will never take for granted. Faith, you were one of the first people to show this nervous little 4th grader kindness when I showed up to St. Vincent I was so nervous to be the new kid but your friendship brought me so much comfort. We later bonded over being the new kids together as we walked through the doors of St. Thomas Middle School. You had the BEST sense of humor. Not everyone got our jokes, but WE DID and we never cared how hard we laughed. When we went to middle school and our little friend group came up with the most ridiculous ideas and pranks, you were always the voice of reason. You had such an empathetic heart- for the people you loved, but also for complete strangers.
You were a light in every room you walked into. I am so grateful for every moment we had all the way up to getting to introduce you to little Maverick. My heart is shattered into a million pieces right now, but I know you are in a much happier place, with your angel wings soaring through the Heavens. Rest peacefully my dear friend.
