"Aunt" Fay always gave her all to caring for us.  She was always there to lend an ear, and to offer her most loving guidance.  She will be terribly missed by "the cousins".

She will be laid to rest in Ft. Plain cemetery.  A private celebration of life will be held at later date.  In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the World Wildlife fund by adopting one of her beloved penguins, worldwildlife.org, The Foye Belle Foundation, foyebelle.org, or Hospice of Orange & Sullivan, 800 Stony Brook Court Newburgh, NY 12550, who provided amazing care to all of us during her final weeks.
