  1. Last week one of the most AMAZING & GRACIOUS ladies took the journey to HEAVEN. We are so sadden by her death but HONORED while she was with us we got to experience the kindness and LOVE she displayed 24/7 body, spirit and soul.

    I used to call her The Queen of Wilcox Park Drive as we worked side by side for many years in the St. Thomas funeral ministry. I am going to miss her asking so what kind of trouble you in now Michael? An extended Mother and friend, mentor and role model Roman Catholic. Mr. & Mrs. Fourth were a part of our LOYAL church family over 50 years.

    What a privilege to of known and learned from this remarkable lady.
    The entire Farage Family is sadden and will keep all friends & family members in our prayers during this very challenging time,

    May she rest in peace,

    The Farage Family.
    The late John A. & Mrs. Emilie, Marie, Patty, John Jr., Dr. Gerard, Paul & Michael.
