Fay was very family oriented. Fay’s grandchildren were the love of her life. She enjoyed planning family trips, camping, fishing and shooting her gun. The love Fay and Bear shared over the last 20 years was a once in a lifetime kind of love, love that lasts forever; through the years together they shared everything. One thing Fay and Bear shared unfortunately was addiction. However, they also fought the addiction together and beat it. This was something Fay was proud of as it was a huge accomplishment for them. The last 10 years they have both lead a clean and sober life. This only made their love for one another stronger.
