Dear Faber Family,
We were sorry to hear of the passing of Mr. Faber. Mary and Ken are close neighbors and Mary spoke often of her dad.
While death is always a very sad time for those left behind, it can be a blessing for those who pass on.
Please take comfort in the fact that your father had many years to teach you, learn from you, and love you all. Many people don't get that opportunity.
May God bless you all in this time of sorrow.
