Sending love and hugs to all Auntie Fay’s family and friends in America from all the extended family here in the UK and the rest of the world. I met her about 40 years ago when she came to the UK for a visit and you could certainly see the family resemblance to my mum Joan and Granny. Who would of thought that the family would have spread so far across the globe. My thoughts are with you all at this sad time x

I only met Mrs Faye in the last 2 years but she quickly became very special to me. My thoughts and prayers are with her family during this time. I will miss my best friend until we meet again. Lots of love to everyone.
My sweet mother-in-law Ms.Faye I know is with Jesus now an is with her husband she will be missed by all but we will see her again one day. My heart goes out to all her children she loved each an everyone of the as well as her grandchildren an great grandchildren. She was such a special an wonderful lady I was an will always be proud to call her my mother-in-law. One of my great memories of her is me an Ms.Faye sitting at her kitchen table an her asking lots of questions about my two children which her wonderful son my husband adopted although she never got to meet them she always asked about them when we talked. From the first time I met her I knew in my heart what a special woman she was. An the greatest thing of all is she was a virtual woman according to the Bible I know i will see you again in Heaven thank you for accepting me an my children as a part of your family Ms.Faye R.I.P we love an miss you
So sorry to hear of your loss. I will always remember their smiles. Sending prayers and hugs.
I meet Faye when I married her son William (Bill) Laird. She took me right in and we hit it off for a lifetime! We shared coffee in the morning and talked about going to the “Mart” for craft supplies. She came and helped with the grandkids from birth and stayed in contact through out her life.
She is a true crown jewel 💖! Love her and miss her already!
Sending much love, prayers 🙏 and healing for the family!
Sincere condolences 🙏
Love you Faye!
Sending my condolences to all of the Laird family and Ms. Faye’s family across the globe.
Bill, I’m so sorry for your loss! I will continue to keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers!
