When I think of my aunt Faye, a couple of things come to mind, she made the best lefse and she grew the best tasting sweetest carrots, and would bring both to Iowa when she would come to visit with her family. I think about the times we would sit around the table and play canasta with Faye and Dick and grandma Becker. I have such loving, fond memories of Faye glad she is reunited in heaven, with all of her loved ones who passed before her..
