Our story and Faith’s story will continue on. We hope that her life which meant so much to all of us will carry you through, your life’s journey. Thank you all for helping us send her home.
May God continue to bless you and may you continue to sharpen your eyes of faith to recognize each blessing for what it is and who sent it to you.
With Faith in our hearts, all whom have passed on, all who have been diagnosed with cancer or any other hideous disease and especially all whom continue their fight, WE LOVE YOU AND PRAY FOR YOU DAILY!!!
