Faye was a good and innocent soul. She was so generous to open up her home every Friday night to all the bluegrass and old-time pickers in and around Ashe County during the 1980s into the 1990s. Our family loved Faye very much.
AWAY
(James Whitcomb Riley)
I can not say, and I will not say
That she is dead. - She is just away!
With a cheery smile, and a wave of the hand,
She has wandered into an unknown land,
And left us dreaming how very fair
It needs must be, since she lingers there.
And you - O you, who the wildest yearn
For the old-time step and the glad return, -
Think of her faring on, as dear
In the love of There as the love of Here;
And loyal still, as she gave the blows
Of her warrior-strength to her children's foes. -
Mild and gentle, as she was brave, -
When the sweetest love of her life she gave
To simple things: - Where the violets grew
Blue as the eyes they were likened to,
The touches of her hands have strayed
As reverently as her lips have prayed:
When the little brown thrush that harshly chirred
Was dear to her as the mocking-bird;
And she pitied as much as someone in pain
A writhing honey-bee wet with rain. -
Think of her still as the same, I say:
She is not dead - she is just away.

Faye was a special person in my life. My first memories of her were at Gert's! She would make me a plain hot dog without the bun, french fries and a cherry coke every Friday night. She was so sweet and kind. When in High School I would go with my father to her house and listen to wonderful bluegrass and old time music. Faye was so generous to open her heart and her home to so many. The last time that I saw Faye at the Farmer's Market quiet some time ago she was still so sweet. Even though her memory was failing, she still remembered who I was. Faye was a blessing to all that knew her and she will be missed.

I first met Faye at Gert's restaurant when I was a child, then later when I would go to her home on Friday nights to play my guitar with other pickers. She opened up her home weekly to pickers, dancers, listeners, tv crews, and more from neighboring towns, counties and even states. Her home was always full of music, laughter and love. She was a wonderful friend. I have missed so very much going to her house for those jam sessions, there will never be another like it or like Faye. She will be dearly missed, and I am so thankful that I will see her again someday, she'll probably be in charge of the heavenly jam sessions!!! My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
