To Harvey, Joy, Matthew, Peter and the rest of the family,

My deepest condolences to you at the loss of Faye. She was a true one-of-a-kind who met the world with her own special style. She deserved a full and long life. Instead she got a very full life with many who loved her. Somehow I think this unstoppable woman has not truly been stopped, but instead has evolved to the next step of making a difference in the world. I will miss her.

Anyone who was fortunate enough to have known Faye, was indeed blessed. Her loving smile made one feel she knew and cared about each one she spoke to. We shared a great deal in the years I was at NSCI, they are memories that I will always cherish. She is at peace, may her memory forever be a blessing to all who loved her.
