My condolences to Pete and to the rest of Faye's family. Faye was a classmate in the 1954 graduating class of Tri-City High School (now Morehead). She was very active in Class Reunion activities up until the last one just a few months ago. May God's blessings and comfort go to Pete, to Troy, and to all her family and friends.

Please accept my sincere sympathy in your loss. Faye always was a special person. I had the pleasure to work for her in the Service Dept. at the Fieldcrest General Office. We would always chat about the family and friends when we would see each other out and about. She never forgot a face. She will truly be missed.

Mr. Murphy, Billy & Alva, Barbara and I have you all in our prayers as you shed both the tears of grief that Faye is gone and the tears of joy that she is no longer in any pain. We celebrate with you her amazing life and the love that she leaves behind with so many. Faye's heart was huge and we have such warm memories of our times together with her, in PA, NC, FL and TX. I especially treasure her help in packing chocolate pie in my suitcase many years ago. We can't be with you as you gather but know that we are with you in our hearts, our prayers, our memories and our tears.
