I knew Faye through Beta Sigma Phi sorority and worked with her on several different committees. She was always a wonderful friend and "Sister" and always went out of her way to share the sisterhood and spread the Light of our friendship. I will always remember her and her thoughtfulness. Rest now, Faye!

I had the honor and pleasure of meeting Ms. Faye at the Tennessee Valley Fair and got to work with her every year I was there in Knoxville. She was the sweetest person ever and always so kind. I am sad for her loss and so grateful I had years of contact with her. She will always be remembered. I pray her family peace as you celebrate her life full of amazing service.

After I retired from the military, I found Faye and we began to corresponded regularly. I love her and will miss her, but I know she has been reunited with Ma and all of her siblings. Today Faye is in her new body, and she's running the streets of gold.

Sharon and Jim just know I love you and I am praying for you. God bless and keep you during this difficult time.
