I have many fond memories of playing together as children, swinging together on my grandparents’ front porch, watching fireworks across the French Broad River from that swing, Faye’s HS graduation, her marriage to Gerald, and the births of Jeff and Joel. Love you, Aunt Faye, and will miss you!

Jeff and Joel, lots of thoughts and prayers for you both in dealing with this. Jeff Boone
