"My memories of Faye are all of a godly nature. She shined for God. I felt a kindred spirit with her more than just being a sister in Christ. I felt like I would be someone like her as I aged. She was quick to pray, and enjoyed singing, Faye was stalwart in her faith. People would know to go to her for prayer. I will miss how she prayed for me during our visits! Even i her last days she was a soldier for Christ, leading ladies at Sunnybrooke to Christ. Now in the arms of her Savior, rest my dear friend. We will meet again."
In loving memory of
Faye D. Cole
