I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs Lettie Faye. I was always in awe of how fast she could type (120+ words per minute) and her shorthand when she was secretary to Mr. Hough in the Central Offices. You and the entire family are in our hearts and prayers.

Max, I am so very sorry about your sweet, BEAUTIFUL mother💖💖 Some of my fondest memories is when we would get together with the gang, EZRA, Tommy and Debbie and you and go and wine and dine. She was a class act lady and never a dull moment with her. I loved her dearly and Ezra surely did. PRAYERS for you. This entire community has truly lost a GREAT LADY indeed! 💖💖💖💖 The last time that I saw her was at the hospital gift shop. She was doing a little volunteer work. We both laughed until we cried. She sold me the most BEAUTIFUL TAPESTRY for the birth of my precious and ONLY NIECE! She will always and forever hold a special place in my heart. She was the perfect example of a true, loving, caring LADY! SHE IS WITH EZRA IN HEAVEN NOW! HEAVEN IS TRULY LAUGHING AND REJOICING! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 GOD BLESS YOU MAX! 💖💖💖💖💖🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 JOHN 14:27 💖💖🎶🎶🎹🎹🙌🙌🙌💖

Max. I was so sorry to hear of our precious Lettie Faye's passing. We shared so much time, many laughs and adventures together. It broke my heart when I heard her health was in decline. I think my fondest memory was our trip to Cancun. We had the best time while there. I truly loved your Mom. She could turn a cloudy day into sunshine. I know this journey has not been easy for you, especially during this time of Covid, however, you honored your Mom the very best you could do and for that and many other reasons. I know she's smiling down on you. God bless you as you start a new chapter without her, but, take comfort in knowing you did your best. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Max, I am so sorry to read of the loss of your precious mother. I was an assistant secretary to her and Marlene at the Administration Building during my high school years. Your Mom even had a baby shower for me at her house back in '77. I loved her so much! I moved to TN later on and didn't see her anymore until I moved back here several years ago. I ran into her in Burger King, and my granddaughter and I ate with her. It was such a joy to see her! She loved you Max, so very very much! I know you'll miss her, but she's well now and rejoicing in Heaven!
