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
