Oh it is sad to hear of Fays passing. I joined the WRNZNS with Fay in Nov 1970. She was a great chick to have around and was always happy. RIP Fay. Condolences to you all.

Love to all of the families from Lloyd ,Soo and Kenny from the UK. Fay was a very special lady who contributed so much during her lifetime to so many people as Mother, Sister, Cousin, Aunt, Grandmother and Friend. We are all privileged to have known her and experienced her zest for living. She will be much missed, but never forgotten. Strength to you all. I know Fay would want you all to live on with the energetic, fun, adventurous style she brought to her own life.
