I met faye at the services for the deaf n blind where we both worked. We kept in touch even after we retired and enjoyed our lunch dates. Birthdays n holidays were special occasions we celebrated exchanging gifts. Faye was such a generous and thoughtful person. She introduced me to love pikake which she grew and sewed lovely pikake lei. The cuttings that she gave me are flourishing plants offering many fragrant flowers. She will be remembered whenever I smell or pick the pikake flowers. It was unfortunate that I was not aware of her passing and missed her funeral to say final goodbyes. I felt so sad.
My heartfelt condolences to Gary and family. Norma

Faye and I met in an Aqua Aerobics class at the Kaimuki YMCA. We bonded over our love of teaching and travel. She will be terribly missed. Pam
