    To all of Faye’s family,
    Faye and I worked together at St. Mary’s,. After I left I ran into her at Mid-Jefferson in Nederland. She was such a joy to work with. She was always willing to help any nurse who needed help. She was a sweet nurse and friend. May God give you comfort, grace and peace. Norma Cates

    Richelle, I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mother was truly a remarkable woman who touched so many lives in so many beautiful ways. Her kindness, strength, and love were felt by everyone she met, and she leaves behind an incredible legacy. I hope you find comfort in the memories of her and the love she shared so generously. I know Walter will be so happy to see her again—what a beautiful reunion it must be. Sending you all my love and prayers during this time.
