If You Only Knew...

Fay was a nurse. She worked for the government by day, and for the returning Vietnam vets, rejected by the very government she and they worked for, by night. She gave them the medicines that the government wouldn't provide, she gave them the ear that no one would provide.

Please spare a thought for Fay and her husband of only a year Bill. They met across a crowded room in the 1960's and were finally free to be together in the 2000's.

You will be missed.

Fay sounds like an interesting person. How did you know her?

I knew her from an internet discussion...she was always so nice & supportive of everyone. Most knew her more than I did, but she and I talked about genealogy a few times. Back in the day, when she worked at the VA, she signed a contract that she wouldn't get involved in politics. She could have gone to jail for her work with the vets after hours. How cool is that?
