I will miss Faye. When I began work at Progress Energy, Faye always helped me answer any questions about our work. She had a wonderful sense of humor and made me laugh all the time. Just thinking about her makes me smile. My thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I had the pleasure of working with Faye for about 4 years before her retirement at Progress Energy. She was a very funny lady who wrote short stories and her favorite color was purple like mine. She will forever be missed. My thoughts and prayers with the family.
