Howard,
My condolences to you and your family. The road should’ve been ‘Faithfield Dr.’ I will always remember Faith as the sweet lady at the top of the street that didn’t mind if I rode my bicycle or walked through her yard. She actually wanted me to do that so the crazy drivers wouldn’t run over me! I loved her….such a sweet sweet lady. She will truely be missed. Thinking of you.
Howard, I remember Faith all the way back when we rode the old P & L Bus. She to work and me to high school. Then I remember her as a wonderful friend to Anna Treadway. She always had a smile and kind word for everybody. May God be with you. Gerry & Frieda Smith

Dear Howard and Laurie,
I was so sad to learn of your loss. Mrs. Davis was a joy to know as I was growing up and it was a delight to become reacquainted when I moved back to Candler.
Visiting Faith and Howard was always fun! She always had the best cake and as a kid I thought it was awesome that she worked in a toy store. Howard, Laurie and family my thoughts are with you.
