IS WITH A MOST HEAVY HEART THAT I INFORM YOU OF
THE DEATH OF MRS. FAYE EXCUDE TRUEX WHO PASSED
AWAY PEACEFULLY YESTERDAY (FRIDAY) AT 4:30 P.M.
AT HER MANSURA HOME WITH SOME OF HER CHILDREN AT
HER SIDE.
MRS. TRUEX TRULY DID
NOT FEAR DEATH AS SHE LIVED A LONG MEANINGFUL
LIFETIME RAISING A BEAUTIFUL FAMILY OF SEVEN
CHILDREN, GIVING 38 YEARS TO THE EDUCATION
SYSTEM AS A WONDERFUL HISTORY TEACHER.
I CRIED MYSELF TO
SLEEP NEAR THE MIDNIGHT HOUR LAST EVENING NOT
FOR MY DEAR FRIEND FAYE TRUEX BUT FOR MYSELF AND
HER FRIENDS WHO WILL NOT BE ABLE EVER AGAIN TO
SHARE THE JOY OF HER COMPANY IN THIS LIFETIME. I
WILL MISS THOSE BACKPORCH CHATS LIKE THE ONE WE
EXPERIENCED ONLY A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO AT HER
MANSURA HOMESTEAD.
JUST OFF THE PHONE
WITH DAUGHTER MARION T. WINSPER THIS MORNING WHO
REPORTS THEY ARE ALL STILL NUMB OVER THEIR
SPECIAL MOM'S PASSING SO QUICKLY. MRS. FAYE
CHOSE TO BE CREMATED AND A MEMORIAL SERVICE WILL
PROBABLY BE HELD ON TUESDAY IN MANSURA.
PLEASE KEEP MRS.
FAYE AND HER FAMILY IN YOUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS
AS THEY GET THRU THIS DIFFICULT TIME. AND ONCE
AGAIN, I SAY THANK YOU TO THOSE OF YOU WHO TOOK
A LITTLE TIME/EFFORT IN SENDING HER A NOTE/CARD
THAT MEANT SO MUCH TO HER IN HER FINAL DAYS.
MAY GOD BLESS MRS.
FAYE ESCUDE TRUEX, HER FAMILY, AND EACH OF YOU
AS WELL!!!!
