I did not know your loved one other than to say hello. Yet she left an impact on everyone she spoke with and shared her smile. You have my condolences and prayers.

Mrs Martin and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I worked with Faith for several years during her recent job with the State in Charleston.
I know she had some very difficult days at times, but I never knew Faith not greet me with that great smile and sparkle in her eyes every day I saw her!
I am sure you were all blessed to have been touched by her, as was I.

I am so saddened to hear this news. I lost touch with Faith when she left DHHR and often think of her and miss her. She had such wonderful humour and spirit. We could all strive to be a little more like Faith.

I was so sorry to hear of Faith's passing. I first met Faith six years ago through my disaster recovery work in Maryland. She had tremendous spirit. I will always remember here wonderful sense of humor. Faith was a compassionate person who dedicated her life to helping others. I will sincerely miss her.

I was a friend and colleague of Faith's for the past 9 years, although we worked in separate states. I was so so sorry to hear of her passing - she was a loving and supportive person. I valued the time I was able to spend with her either in person or on the phone.
Sincerely,
Rachel Kaul
Please know my thoughts and warmest wishes go to her family and friends. May you find comfort in each other and in loving memories of dear Faith.

Our prayers are with Faith and her family. She exhibited a greatness in spirit and friendship that will never be dimmed by the passage of time. We are saddened by her passing but take solace, in the fact, that she rests securely in the arms of a powerful and loving God.

We just learned of Faith's passing this morning from one of our alumni. Faith was a wonderful person. She worked as our Graduate Assistant in the Division of Public Administration during the time she was completing her masters degree. Personally, Faith and I had a great friendship that left us knowing that even though we did not see each other daily, we would always be friends. Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious loved one. I have known of Faith for many years. Although I have never worked directly with her, we have been employed in the same facility a few times. At St. Mary's she was so very helpful to others who were suffering with cancer by sharing her couragous and strong spirit. She was an inspiration to many who knew she had beat cancer, which gave them hope and belief that they could too. While working at the VAMC, her smile was so precious to see. She brightened the room. I know she has lived her life to help others and she loved her family so much. I will certainly pray for you all during this difficult time.

I only met Faith a handful of times, but every time, she was friendly and full of laughter. She was outspoken, but kind-hearted, and that's one of the best things a person can be because they tend to speak the truth when it needs to be heard.
I'm so sorry for the family's loss of Faith's presence, but I know that she is still with you in spirit, and will be until the time comes that we can all be together again.

I am not able to make it to Faith's funeral today, and wanted to express my sincere sorrow for her passing. I worked with Faith at Thomas Hospital in 2008. She was a very caring and wise social worker, who didn't "sugar coat" anything. Faith and I shared a passion for animals, in particular, our love for our "furry kids" and often spoke of them. We also had conversations about her "mama" whom she loved dearly. I will miss Faith, she was a good friend to me.

Sorry for your loss of a very special person. I first met Faith when she worked for WVBH. She didn't know me at first, but she made sure I had a place in the workshops I wanted to be registered. She was nice to anyone she spoke too and wanted to be helpful. When she became an employee at the Huntington VA, I was retiring, but spent a short time visiting her before I left. She was liked by all who met and worked with her. She was a wonderful person. God Bless all of you!

Dear Family,
Although I have never met you, working with Faith for several years, I feel like I did know you in a way. I am so saddened by her untimely passing. She was not only a co-worker, but a friend and I will miss her, but will remember the good times we had together and some of the sorrow and heartbreak we shared together. She will live on in my memories of her. My deepest sympathies go out to you at such a great loss.
Debbie

We have lost a beautiful team leader, but Heaven has welcomed an Angel. Faith was a joy to be with when ever and where ever we were called upon to serve others. Traveling the State to help those in need, and sitting in the classroom learning from Faith will never be forgotten. My prayers are with you.
