Our condolences to all Faye’s family. She was a sweet woman and of course, Steve will always remember her as “Sweetie Pie”. Faye was always so gracious to us, inviting us to visits when in the area; and of course lavishing us with her delicious meals. It’s a good memory sitting around her kitchen table drinking coffee and laughing. RIP sweet Faye, Miss Sweetie Pie.

Thinking of all the Short family and Faye’s extended family. I share many memories of this family growing up in Amoret. We were both large families and spent lots of time running the streets and coming up with ways to entertain ourselves.. Of course Momma Bear was the queen of them all. Thank you Faye for being a part of my life and will treasure your memory.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of Faye’s family. I always enjoyed our evening chats on the phone and had hoped to meet you personally this summer and get spoiled with your home-cookin’. God speed!
