About Fay - From Donna:

Fay was such a warm, caring, generous, loving, very intelligent person, with an awesome sense of humor. She taught me, and many others, the true meaning of Friendship! She was very strong in her faith, and was a strong believer in prayer and believed that there was a reason for everything that happens. She suffered so much pain, but never complained. She truely believed that things happen the way God intends for them to. She had so much compassion for other people. If you had a problem, then it was her problem too, and she was ALWAYS there if and when anyone needed her. She focused more on the positive eternal things, letting the momentary earthly things fall into obscurity. Heaven has gained a wonderful soul! An angel!
She was a kindergarten teacher in school for about 2 years, after that, she babysat for some of her neighbors and friends for a number of years.
She has 2 kids, Patrick 21 or 22 yrs and Catherine 20 ( I think, memory fails me). She and Tom would be celebrating their 26th wedding anniversary on Dec. 11th this year. I can't begin to tell you all the things that made her such a unique, wonderful person. I miss her terribly as do her family and everyone who's lives she touched.
She was a member of the Teddy's Trader Club, collected Boyd's bears, and any other kind of teddy bear imaginable. She has been a cross stitcher for about 8 or 9 years, in fact, she's the one who taught me how to stitch.
For those of us that knew her, our lives have been forever changed and I feel we all have been so very blessed to have been able to call her a friend, and have her in our lives.
She was much more than a friend actually, she was more like a Sister, and was a big part of our lives. I know I've told you some other things about her, but for the life of me, I can't think of a thing right now. Anyway, this only skims the surface.
I know she's up there watching over all of us now, and probably saying something hilarious! She was quite a gal! We all love her dearly, and always will! ;o)
