Jimmy and Family of Faye, We were saddened with the news of Faye's passing. She was a wonderful person to know and a true disciple of Christ in living out His word. She was always thinking about others and putting their needs before her own. This is what Christ asks of us all and what she did every day of her life. May her charitable example be remembered by all of us left behind. May the Peace and Blessings of our Lord be with you always, Dan and Kathy Brazinski

I am so sorry to hear about Faye. We went to school together in Norris. I had the privilege of spending the night with her. Very sweet lady.

My parents, Waldon and Janie Entrekin, and I wanted to let you know how sorry we are for your loss. Our loss, though, was Heaven's gain. And what a grand reunion day that was! I can just picture the smile on your Mother's face when she saw our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Then came the reunion with Preacher Coley and Mrs Jessie, followed by her brother and sister and then her two precious daughters, Donna and Cathy! As the saying goes, Heaven's sounding sweeter every day. I recognize the huge hole in your hearts and family now that she is gone. Please know your family is in our thoughts and prayers. May God flood your mind with sweet memories of your Mother, just when you miss her most.
