We will miss our treasured visits to Fay and my brother Jerome.. Fay was a people person, who enjoyed outings so much. We first met Fay at my niece’s wedding in Kansas. I knew she was going to be a wonderful wife for Jerome because of the life she brought to that wedding reception. Before we knew it she had us all dancing the “Y.M.C.A” and other dances! We enjoyed many outings with her before and after they moved to League City. The visits usually included a trip to “Nana’s attic” and to the antique store. I was privileged to spend a week working at Nana’s with Fay. As with everything else, she was great with the customers, organized, and very responsible. She was strong in her faith and thoroughly enjoyed the Acts Retreat, dispite having medical issues there. Knowing and spending time with Fay has enriched our lives and those of everyone she met.
Fay was such a joy to know. She was so proud of Jerome and his participation in the Knights of Columbus. She was a very caring, loving person. We will miss her a lot, but know her faith has placed her in her Father’s care.
