I am so sorry to learn of Faye's death. She was a lovely, lovely lady. Always a willing worker at Altoona Christian Church, and a person who collected friends all through the years and kept them. When i first knew her, she was very active in Church activities. Every One looked forward to the many dinners, which featured Faye's famous gravy. It was the best, ever tasted. Sincere condolances to her Family.---June Barron.

I was so sorry to hear of your Mother's passing, She was a soft spoken, lovely lady that will be missed greatly. Passing of a loved one is never easy and especially when it is your Mother. However, she is once again reunited with her husband, Jerry and I am sure this brings you some comfort. Please accept my condolences.
