Thank you for sharing the pictures of Faye. Though I wasn't fortunate enough to know her, I am lucky to count Jennifer amongst my friends. Knowing that daughters tend to take after their mothers, I believe I would be correct in saying that Faye was a fun-loving, friendly, strong woman who was loved my many. For those she leaves behind, feel confident that she will always be with you in memory and she will continue looking down upon you to guide you. May God comfort you in your time of sorrow.
