My dearest and beloved sister Faye,

You will forever be a part of me and I carry fond memories of our times together and think of you every single day. You are admired, appreciated and loved by all that you leave behind. Our lives are but minutes compared to the eternity when we are rejoined again in our Father's kingdom. Although our hearts are now heavy with sadness, they are also even fuller with the love that you shared with us all. God bless you, Tommy, Donna, Tony,Randy, your son Jeffrey and the rest of the family. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Your loving brother,
