    There was never a moment growing up that I didn’t know Faye and Don. They were like second parents to me for many years. My mother will miss Faye in a very profound way. They have known each other so many years and enjoyed each other’s company. Faye will be missed.

    Awwww, your sweet Mother, Faye. So sorry to hear of your loss, Richard and Mary. That’s a wonderful picture of your Mom. I remember her well. I would run into her at the grocery store sometimes. May God bless her loved ones with good memories.
    My Mother, Genevieve Dunn, will be 92 on the 21st of July. We are okay, Richard and Mary.
    Thinking of you, Love and Prayers, sheila
