So sad to hear this. Have found me.ories of Faron from our time at HRS thru high school. Have 2 favorite memories I’ll share. Once at 4H camp I was being what one would call bullying today. Faron and I at this time knew each other but I wouldn’t day really friends. At that camp, however, she was always for the under dog. She took me in and made me feel special. A other time we had attended a revival together. She asked her mom if I could spend the night. Her mom and my dad I believe also were PTO officers at HRS… anyway, her mom said yes. During the night it hot really chilly. Faron turned on the heat we were very comfortable. Next day her mother was soooo mad at us. How were we to know her mom had the windows open that day and that’s why it was cold. I quote ” Well. Yall have just spent the night heating g the whole outside too. ” oops lol. Those are just 2 of the many yhoughts I’ve had the last week or so. Rest 8n peace Faron. You’ve earned it. Jimmy God bless you and the joy you brought her and the care you gave her. Bless the whole complete family

Faron was such a fun-loving, kind, beautiful and talented girl. A friend to everyone and greatly missed by all who knew her. Those we love are never totally gone from us. They remain in our hearts until we are together with them again. I know I will keep a tiny piece of her tucked away in my heart always. Try to take comfort knowing she is in Heaven with Jesus — happy, whole and more beautiful than ever. Prayers of comfort for you all…until we meet her again in Heaven.

My condolences go out to the family and friends. It is never easy to cope with the loss of a loved one, but God offers hope! At Revelations 21:3,4 God promises that death will be no more. Imagine what a wonderful time this will be! I hope this message leaves you with hope and comfort in the times to come.

May the coming days be filled with Wonderful Stories of Life, Great Family, Friends and God’s Grace and Peace. Faron passed through my life a few times and it was always a good time with her! You could take one look at that Woman and know that she was Enjoying her Life, Her Way…. that is an Admirable Quality in a Person ! Beautiful, Inside and Out and it seemed that she Absolutely Lived the Width of Her Life as well as the Length. May all who loved her embrace that quality in their own lives. Much Love.
