I will always remember Faye for the best school lunches a kid could ever want. I can still taste the pasta and fresh, warm rolls. The kids at other schools could never believe how well we ate at Canary Lake Elementary School. Clean plates were never an issue.
She was a fine lady. God bless her family.
