Sending prayers and condolences to the entire family. The Hayes family.
My sincere condolences to Lynette and the Bowman family. I met Faye many years ago while we both attended the same church. Her testimonies were always on fire and she had great faith in the Lord. One testimony stands out with me and I often think of it, from time to time. Faye had a large mole on her face near her neck that she really was not happy with the sight of the mole. Faye had been anointing the mole daily with holy oil and believing God to remove the mole. One service night Faye came to church all happy and excited. She testified that she had been anointing the mole every day and believing God to remove the mole and the mole just fell off. That's just a small indication of the faith she had in God. RIP Faye

Sending prayers of comfort for the family . I used to work with Faye as we called her at the Hosiery Mill years ago and I got to know her. I thought her first name was so beautiful , I told her if I have a little girl I was going to name her that and I did name my daughter after her, just spelled it differently and she thought that was so great! She was an awesome woman of God that loved people. She will truly be missed! Praying for the family! Versa Page & Family
