Prayers and lots of hugs for the family. She will be missed. Nesha, T, Vicky and Gary...love you bunches. Heaven rejoices today.
A fond farewell to our loving cousin who was generous, good hearted and oh so talented. Every time we got together it ended up being a praise party. Many of my childhood memories center around the time we all spent in Hawkins at Papa's and Aunt Ora's homes. And Faye was there- smiling and helping. Love you, Faye. I pray for comfort and God's peace for your sons. Deb.
