I remember Faye as a classmate from high school. She always had a wonderful smile on her face. I am assured that she was just as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside. I will miss her too. Denise
May God Bless & Comfort You
Love, Barbara Hembree-Nix
I will miss my Aunt Loretta so very much. My heart aches so much that I could not be present to tell her goodbye. Her kindness and unbounded love for me and my well being went far beyond anything I could have ever given her back in return. She helped me many times while in school and even purchased a car for me to help me get back and forth to college. She cared that much about my education and success She was an inspiration to me with her independence yet self sacrifice and kindness to others. She was much more than my Aunt she was my friend and always willing to lend her ear and give advice.
I will always love her and miss her dearly.
May God Lift You and Comfort You All The Rest of Your Days.
