Guest Book (10 entries) So many ways to describe Faye and they all bring a smile to your face. Faye helped me out many times in my earlier years when I needed it most. Living right across the street from her many years ago she kept a watchful and protective eye over me. I barely had the BBQ started one winter when Faye appeared at my doorstep thinking my garage was burning down! Thank you Faye for brightening our days, especially Dad. He will miss you very much. A big hug to you Brian and to the girls. Another star in the sky........ - Posted by: Kim Hutchison (friend) on: Feb 28, 2013 - Posted by: Kim Hutchison () on: Mar 01, 2013

Our two families, the Donnellys and the Watermans had many great times together. Faye truly was the heart of her family and we loved her so much. We grieve at your loss of a wife, mother and grandmother, sister, aunt, etc. She was so much to so many. We will miss you but boy we have great memories and can smile when we remember you. With love and sadness, Terry and Muriel - Posted by: Terry and Muriel Waterman (Friend) on: Feb 26, 2013

Brian Tammy Carrie, our thoughts are with you. It is a sad day when we lose the people we Luv. I will miss seeing you Faye, when we come home for a visit. It was always good to hear from you and listen to your stories of what has happened in the last year or so when I was last there. May you always be around in spirit looking after your family and friends as you always did. It is a sad day when people are taken away so young. Will think about you for many years Faye. All the best to your loved ones. Bummer & Family - Posted by: Bill & Jan Thomson ( Bummer) (Friend) on: Feb 25, 2013

Faye was one of those special people who would do whatever they could to make you feel welcomed whether it was in her home, at the Pine Pharmacy, or on the streets of Pine Falls. Faye looked on the bright side and always demonstrated genuine concern for your well being. It is with sadness that we must say good bye but our memories will never be forgotten. Brian, our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family at this time. - Posted by: ron and noreen head (friends) on: Feb 25, 2013

She was very wonderful and a loveable person and she will never be forgotten and at least she is there to tell everyone that we all say hello to those who has passed along the way and at least she will be there to come in our dreams. Sorry For your loss Brian, Carrie and family. - Posted by: Kurnin Costa-Motkaluk () on: Feb 24, 2013

Faye certainly had her door open at all times. As I child, there were many times I would show up on their door step asking to play with Tammy. Faye would say, Janice it's 8 o'clock in the morning. I would give some excuse and she would take me in, feed me breakfast and let me wake Tammy. Even the when Tammy had chickenpox, laying sick on the couch, Faye would not turn me away. The last few years, we would meet up during our coffee breaks and she would share her happy family stories. Faye was so proud of her daughters and her pride was definitely with her grandchildren. My thoughts are with the family during this time of sorrow. Faye will be greatly missed. Janice Gaffray. - Posted by: Janice () on: Feb 24, 2013
