Dear Tom, Dan, Laurie and John,

Fay will always be special in our hearts. We will be ever grateful for the many wonderful memories she has given us. We will remember the way she would always make her "lists," bake delicious Christmas cookies, her impeccable decorating and sewing, devoted rosary maker, her love of golf and bridge, her passion to travel and read, hosting our bridal showers at Ridge, and the best memory of all was the comfort of knowng she was just down the street if we ever needed her.

Love,

Maureen, Joan, Eileen, Jean & Janet

Fay was very special to me. Even though she was not my grandma, I saw her a lot and I always thought of her as my grandma. She always remembered MY name when she forgot every one else's! She was very good to me and always made me laugh. Thanks Fay! God bless you and love you always.

I will be out of town and unable to attend Fay's funeral, but I am deeply sorry that she has left us. I am an old friend from St. Linus and it was a delight joining her for lunch every month with the rest of the Pioneers. She always had an interesting story and will be missed.
