So sorry to hear of Fays passing. I feel so fortunate that I got to meet her last summer. She was my half sister..That I never knew. I told her upon leaving " we are half sisters." Her reply was.."no, we are sisters." I truly wish we would have known each other better. Just that hour with her indicated what a special person she was. I know she will be greatly missed by her family.
