The Jones Families, Bill/Loma and Shephard and Jim Shephard & Families,
Our Deepest Sympathy to all of you on the passing of Faye. She will be greatly missed! We got to know Lloyd and her in the neighborhood 26 years ago this coming August and they adored our son, Corby very much. We had a wonderful relationship with the both of them in all those years and continued that relationship via Faye when she moved to the West Coast. The last conversation I had with her was on her Birthday. We talked for an hour remembering all the wonderful times/visits in those years. I can still hear her laughing and smiling too. Prayers for comfort, peace,strength, and encouragement and may God bless all of you.
In Christian Love,
Tim, Amber, and Corby Redburn

Sympathies to you all. Faye and Loyd were our neighbors across the street on New Haven Dr. In Portage, Mi. We loved them! They were so kind to our kids and us. My husband and I visited them in West Plains a year before Loyd passed. We will always hold them in our hearts. To God be all praise.
