Worked with Faye at CRMP and she was a good friend. We shared so many things about our families and I KNOW she loved her family dearly. She really missed her sister, Linda, but is now with her and still talking about her love for her family and friends. My heart goes out to all her family. She will be dearly missed. Hang on to your “Precious Memories”. With love, Gloria and A.J.

My heart goes out to the family during this difficult time. Alice and I went to school for twelve years at Woodland and graduating at Northampton. We had classes together, road bus, played basketball, and were friends. My husband and I saw her and Hansel just a few weeks ago and seeing her brought back memories of the times we shared. So, let me say, let the times you shared help you through the days ahead may they make you smile, laugh or maybe cry but keep those memories close to your heart. She was a dear friend and will be truly missed. You will be in our thoughts and prayers now and in the days to come. May God give you

peace and comfort.
