So deeply sorry for the passing for your sweet wife Faye. I never had a chance to know her as well as Bobby, but I've always known from others what a kind and sweet person she was. It is so difficult to see family go through serious illnesses and then recover only to pass away from something unrelated. My prayers are with all of the family and those close to Faye. May you find peace in the days to come.

Bobby and Family, I just read the email from Jan and I am saddened and stunned to read that Faye has died. I always enjoyed talking with her at the reunions. She had such a pretty smile. She was a great help in collecting family information. I pray that you will feel and know the love and comfort of our Lord during this sad and painful time. God be with each of you. Love and prayers.

So very sorry for the loss of Faye. Her smile was contagious, and she had a way of brightening up the room. She will surely be missed by us all. I rejoice in the fact she was the Lords child, and will be waiting until the day we all meet in Heaven. I ask God to give her family comfort in this, and know it's not goodbye, but until they meet again.
