Condolences
The family of Faith V. Lyons has received the following condolences.
Kathleen, Pat and Faith's family, our sincere sympathy at this sad time for you. It is hard to understand why someone you love is snatched away from you so fast. May God comfort you.
Faith made me the most beautiful quilt for a high school graduation present. It meant so much to me that she took the time to make me such a truly amazing gift. It is difficult to describe how beautiful and intricate it is. The quilt is a stunning amalgam of purples, pinks, and greens with the most wonderful rainbow thread holding each colorful piece of the pattern together. It will be a keepsake I will cherish for a lifetime. Thank you, Faith. May you rest in peace.
Love,
Shannon
Dear Beth, Connie, Mark and Patty,
My sympathy to all of you at this time. I have very found memories of your Mom, the photo of your Mom is so beautiful. It is just how I remember her....her sweet smile and that twinkle in her eyes that I remember with love...and her laugh...she had such a wonderful laugh. I am sorry that I am unable to be there with you during this time, but please know that I hold all of you in my heart and prayers. Her light will shine on. I will light a candle for your Mom tonight.
