Dear Debbie, and Bruce, I am so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I had the honor and privilege of doing her hair for about 20 years. We had wonderful conversations. I heard lots of stories. Of course some I am sworn to secrecy. But one thing I can tell you is she loved all of you very much. She was always so proud of all of you. I got great joy hearing about grandbabies being born, she was proud of all of you as well. We shared many thoughts, cares ,laugher and a few tears along the way. I will always remember her sweet smile and her kind, compassionate heart for those around her. Again, I am truly sorry. She will be greatly missed.

My mom Shirley Servi was so sad to just hear about Faye passing. They’d known each other for many many years probably since 1960’s as friends and members at St Sebastians. And ever since they were in the homemakers club. Faye was a terrific person. I knew her as a friend of my moms since childhood hood.
God has a place for you Faye.
