Dear Gary. I’m very sorry to hear that Faith passed away.
She was a true fighter. I’m so happy for these last few years that we got together as former Jefferson school class mates and then again as 1959 graduates. May your fond memories comfort you! Blessings.

Im sorry to have lost Faith after all these years of friendship. We were grade school buddies and walked home from school together. Then high school (the 59ers club)
Then goy back together in later years to have lunch with several other grade schoolers. I will miss her but no more than her lovely family . My prayers are with you all, especially Gary who was a wonderful support throughout this sickness
