Miss Ann could not have had a more loving and caring son than Jack. He always loved and took such wonderful care of his dear mother. Faye was a sweet daughter in law and superb caregiver with love and patience. Please feel secure that she is resting in paradise now and will be with you all again one day.

Grandmother,
I will always carry you in my heart and never forget your warmth, compassion and beautiful smile. I have so many memories of us and if I had to choose one it wold be the times we would stay up late and I would lay my head on your lap and you would run your fingers through my hair until I fell asleep. I never felt so safe, so relaxed and so loved. You were and will always be the person i most admire and the person i strive to be like. I'm so glad God made you my grandmother. I will not say goodbye because I know I will see you again. Until then, rest in peace and I hope you know how much I truly love you.
