Ms.Faye will always have a very special place in my heart. I will truely miss her. I worked with Ms. Faye at BAM. We had the early Friday morning shift and she was always full of spunk. On her days off she was up there with her daughter and grandchildren. She was a very good friend to me. I loved her like family. I still called her often after moving to GA. We even had lunch on my trips up there. She pushed me to achieve my goals. She always made me laugh. I am so glad to have had her as my friend. My condolences to her entire family.

To the McGrew family:
I am sorry to hear about the loss of your love one. I use to work with Faye at the Navy Commissary regional office. Though your heart must hold deep sadness at the loss of the one you loved, may it also hold the blessings of the life you shared and the love that will always be a part of you...

Pam, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to loose a parent. I believe that we will see our loved ones again, and this allows the grief to lift just a little. The hurt is so raw, but with time it will get better. People are never really gone when we honor their memory with thoughts, smiles, and stories about their lives and how they influenced our life. If there is anything that I can do for you, please let me know. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this time. May God send the Holy Spirit to comfort you.
