My condolencies to the family. What a legacy; What a life! I will never forget the quiet spirit of Mrs Faye. She was always there at the house inviting everyone who stopped by to come in and sit down.
I pray that the Lord will sustain and keep the family during this time of sorrow. Just remember that "to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord", immediately! - william c.bryant sr.(Friday, January 20 12 09:33 pm EST)
