I only knew Faye a short time during her stay at Alpine Manor. She was the kindest woman and a joy to be around. I am so sorry for your loss!
Faye was a lovely lady. She will be missed. Condolences to all. Deb and Tom Spratt
the best person I know is now with God. I will miss her terribly. Until we meet again Aunt Phem… In my heart forever…
I am so so sorry to hear the bad news about Fay, we were neighbors across the street in Avon on Springdale Drive.
I loved her and Kip, this truly breaks my heart.
I taught her how to quilt alittle and she took classes for awhile.
She loved working in her yard, we planted blue spruces together.
I lost touch with her when I moved to Florida in 2006..I would visit her a few times when we came up to visit family.
She was a super, super lady
RIP Sweet lady
Faye was a very good friend of my mother ,Lorraine Casey Gundy. I believe they served in the Army together. After my mother passed 22vyrs ago Faye invited my sisters & me out to her house and she talked about our mother. RIP Faye. I’m sure you a& my mother have much to catch up on.
Didn’t get to see much of Aunt Faye but she was always one of my favorite aunts. Bet there is a big poker game going on up there. Sorry for all you on loosing such a WONDERFUL and BEAUTIFUL lady. Rest In Peace Aunt Faye
I am standing upon the seashore. A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean. I stand and watch her until at length she hangs like a speck of white cloud just where the sea and sky come to mingle with each other. Then someone at my side says:”There, she’s gone!” Gone where?”Gone from my sight on That is all. She is just as large in the mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and she is just as able to bear the load of living freight to her destined port. Her diminished size is in me, not in her. And just at the moment when someone at my side says:”There,she is gone!” There are other eyes watching her coming and other voices ready to take up the glad shout.”Here she comes!”. And that is dying…. Henry Van Dyke l will miss our phone calls,,Phem and we will be together again much love Isabelle
From the first time I met this gal I could tell right off the bat she was a wonderful person the first question that came out of her mouth do you want something to eat right then and there I knew the type of person that she was a very caring and kind-hearted person to ask a perfect stranger the first time she ever met do you want something to eat I was with her son bill we went out to his mom’s house to pick up some things it was truly an honor to meet her she told me all kind of stories and bill said yeah they’re true she will truly be missed and it weighs heavy on my heart especially because Billy and Pam we’re such good friends
I got the privilege to meet you one time you left an everlasting impression on me I never would forget you you’re the nicest kindest gal I ever met it was an honor and privilege getting to know you that day I’ll always have that memory of you asking me are you sure you don’t want something to eat you were the best it was truly an honor to meet you
Aunt Faye will be missed by my family immensely. my father mother and Donovan, my son, would go visit them in New York and enjoyed that very much we all are so sorry for the loss
Aunt Faye, as my son, father, mother and myself knew her will be missed immensely. My son would go to visit her in New York with my family often and really loved to go visit Jim ,Mary and family. We are all so sorry for your loss.
Meeting Faye 15 years ago was a blessing in my life and we became forever friends. I will miss her every day, but I have such great memories with her to love and cherish.
So sorry for your loss. I got to enjoy her company when The Blyes lived next door to me in South Easton, MA. WONDERFUL LADY
My deepest sympathy to Faye’s family and many friends. May you all hold your memories of this gracious lady close to you.
I’ll always remember her as a strong,funny, very loving woman.As she was the one who introduced my parents, I guess she’s partly responsible for me being here.Please don’t hold that against her!!!Love you Aunt Phemie,thanks for being in my life.
Jim, Mary and family. We are so sorry for the loss of your Matriarch. Peace be with you all. Wayne & Carol Farley
