Was very sorry to hear of Ms. Faye's passing. So many good memories of her growing up in the neighborhood. She was a kindhearted and fun loving lady. She loved her children and was a great mom. I know she will be missed. Together again with her sidekick Ms. Moore. I remember a few "Lucy and Ethel" moments back in the day. Praying for her family and loved ones at this sad time and hoping your memories bring you peace and comfort. ((hugs))
