Loved Faye... For many years we were Volunteers at CRMC together! Later years I was her 'Lifeline' representative... We enjoyed many hours of Chats in her quaint home behind the church! I admired Faye's determination to stay Fhysically Fit by walking every single day! She would find a destination comfortable, rain or shine, winter or Summer!
