    John, Jan and Jennifer. So sorry to hear about your mom. She was such a sweetie. I saw her quite a bit before she left the Voyage because my sister is there. She was loved by everyone there. Our prayers are with all of you and your families.

    We were so saddened to hear of Carmi’s passing. She is greatly missed by my father, Hans Faust. They had such a wonderful friendship these last 3 years at The Voyage together. I think that Carmi reminded my dad of my mother. They loved to joke back and forth with each other. We loved getting to know her during our visits there. May the Lord comfort you all during this difficult time.

    Such a lovely lady, who brings fond memories of seeing her down at Bennie’s visiting with friends. She was one of the “ older ladies” that you remembered with class.

    Jennifer, Jan and family,
    I was so very sorry to hear about Carmie. No matter what age losing a Mother is hard.
    I will always remember how kind your Mom was with me when I made Marion my temporary home.
    Brad and I also had a wonderful visit from Carmi and Sue here in Florida. That was the last time I saw Carmie but she always had a sweet place in my heart.
    I’m sending love and prayers to help carry you all though this painful time.

    Jan, cousin - I was so sorry to hear about your mother. I did not know her and only know you from our Facebook communications, but that was enough for me to see what a wonderful and loving woman she was. I have made a small donation to Lighthouse Shelter in her name.
