Miss Fay, you were such a pleasure to know. Your kindness, meek spirit, and love of God radiated from you. I will cherish our last hug which lasted longer than usual and even though neither of us realized it, you were actually saying goodbye for now. You were a very special woman and Johnny & I both loved you. Precious Memories until we meet again!

you are greatly going to be missed!! You were truly loved by all that knew you! I love you so much Aunt Fay but miss you more. I have a poem for you and think you would have liked it! It goes like this:
MISS ME BUT LET ME GO!
When I come to the end of life’s road and the final sun has set for me I want no rites in a gloomy room for my soul has been set free
Miss me a little, but not too long and don’t let your head hang low remember the love that we have shared
Miss me but let go… This is a journey we all must take and we each must go it alone, It’s all part of God’s master plan. I’m free and I’m going home, when you are lonely and feeling low Go to loved ones and friends we know, remember the love that we have shared!!
Miss me but let go!!
