I'll always remember Faith as a kind and sweet lady who opened up her home to us when we visited Jay's train shop. My late husband was a customer and friend of her husband and she would come out and visit us when we were there, many years ago. My deepest condolences to her family and Jay for their loss. Death diminishes us in so many ways. Prayers for you all in your time of sorrow. Linda (Jim) Kinyon
