We will forever miss our Aunt Faye. She was one of the most fun-loving and adventurous ladies, ever. We loved visiting her and going to the pool in the summer as kids. She introduced me to apple pie a la mode, as a little girl, and I can never eat it without thinking of having it in her kitchen for the first time. Parasailing in Siesta Key, lunch, and many shopping trips are among my fondest memories of summber vacations. Having a glass of wine and the salad at Columbia restaurant in St. Armands Circle was always our thing. It makes my heart happy to know that she’s with your dad, Greg. To Greg, Page, Zach and Jake, we hope that the many memories of your amazing mom and grandmother bring a smile to your faces during this sad and difficult time. We love you all, Audrey, Peter, Nick, Brittany, and family.
