She was such a wonderful person. I met her while she was working with visiting angels. She helped take care of my Mom. She became a true friend, even after my Mom passed. I will miss her smile.

Fay was a remarkable person in so many ways. For instance, every holiday was a unique opportunity for Fay to express herself through decorating and cooking. And often painting her fingernails to match. She made each holiday an experience and enriched our being together. Some of these pictures show the playful side of Fay like when she was carving pumpkins, or celebrating birthdays, or decorating the Christmas tree. These are the moments that Justin, Cody and I, along with other family members and friends, will forever remember. These are the moments we will hold close to our hearts. These are the moments that Fay gave to us.

Dearest Fay,
I’ve known Fay for almost 20 years.
She was a best friend and neighbor.
Always smiling & helpful.
My dear friend, I’m going to miss you terribly.
You were a fighter. You are in a better place now. No more pain.
Love from all of us.
Kavita.

Dear Mark, Cody, Justin and family:
I'm so sorry you lost Fay. I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been for you to watch her go, finally loosing the battle with her illness.
I met Fay about 25 years ago in Brussels, where she, Mark, Cody and Justin lived at the time, Mark and I working for Ericsson. Later on, visiting you in Reston and enjoying your hospitality in September 2023. I remember Fay as a very kind and gentle person, never complaining about her fate.
I wish you a lot of strength in these difficult times.
Godspeed to you all.
Walter
