Dear Mom,
You will always be remembered in our hearts and in our souls forever. We know that your spirit continues to shine. Everyday that you are no longer on this earth, we remember just how wonderful a person you are and the wonderful Mother who loved us all so individually. We are so proud to know this...and to know that you were just as proud of us. The greatest fact of what I am saying is that you knew and commmunicated all of this to us long before you left this earthly plane. Your loving spirit is felt through the heart of your son who was born on your birthday and that is a bond that will never be broken.
With Mother's Day and now Memorial Day, I am sending my love this way to share with those who feel the same as myself. This is from your son and best friend forever...Rick.
David, Martha, Kathy, Dean and Jim are among us those you call "your kidz" who will remember you always. We love you, Mom.

Dearest Cousins, my heart is breaking over my dear aunt and your sweet mother. Words cannot express what she meant to me. I will always cherish getting to visit Faye (PeeWee) in Chicago in 2004. That was so very special in that it re-kindled the family ties between her, my cousins and me. I'll never forget that. Martha, Cathy, Rick, and Dean: you know that I'm here for you. My thoughts and love are with you all. Love from your cousin, Janet

Dear All,
With Faye's passing, JoAnn (sister to David) and I have been reflecting. There have been so many things to mention since introduced four years ago. One thing is for certain, 'Faye was a treasure!'
At first meeting, I was struck by Faye's wonderful Southern accent. JoAnn's grandson, Billy, came with Rick and me. I had been with Rick for a few months and he felt that it was time to be introduced to his Mother. This was a special occasion in that Rick didn't always introduce 'just anyone' to his Mother. Faye and I liked each other immediately. There were no barriers, no walls, just an exchange of family history and an intense discussion of values.
Having just experienced the loss of our Mother, Faye and I bonded. Not only was Faye a gifted piano player & poet like our Mother, but, too, she held a strong sense of family close to her heart like JoAnn and my Mother had.
Throughout the past four years, Faye, JoAnn and I knew that we cared about each other. Though the common link was Ricky, we each felt a separate love 'just for Faye.' With this relationship, Faye, JoAnn and I have believed we knew each other forever. It was as though kindred spirits had found one another. This was truly a treasure and we daily reflect on our loss with the passing of Faye.
However, as with JoAnn and my Mother's passing, Faye will never be gone. In connecting and thinking about her many comments and conversations, we will constantly be thinking of her.
Love to All,
JoAnn Surber & David Simeur

To All of Faye's Family...
Words cannot express the sadness that we're all feeling right now. Sadness for losing a wonderful friend and not being able to see or touch her again...Happiness for having known such a lovely woman and feeling like that was a wondrous gift in itself.
Our hearts go out to all of her loved ones...she was truly a special person. Our hearts might be aching right now, but the ache is filled with beautiful memories of a loving life that touched us all.
May she rest in peace...knowing that she is truly loved and missed. God Bless her and keep her by His side.
We Love You Faye...You're Always and Forever in our hearts!!!
Our Deepest Sympathy...

Faye has been an inspiration to me. Her love for her family, her steadfast manner of living life even in the face of adversity and her optimism will be the things I remember the most about her.
I'll miss her piano playing, her old stories about working at Margie's Candies and her stories about moving to Chicago from the south.
Her acceptance and celebration of human diversity will always be a reminder for me of the goodness that exists in the world.
I know that Faye is going to be with us forever, guiding us to live life as fully as she did.
I'll miss sharing meals with her, laughing with her and the smiles she brought to everyone's faces, especially the joy she brought to her children Dean, Rick, Kathy and Martha.
I love you Faye and miss you more than I can say!
Love,
Steve

Faye, you were one of the strongest people I've ever met. I hope you and my grandma are having a good old chat right now like old times.

Faye was one of the strongest women I knew. She refused to let her illness take over her life and she fought it with every bit of her being. She will be greatly missed. I know her family and friends in Heaven are welcoming her with open arms. Faye, we love you and we will miss you.
