1 CONT FAYE ELRICH
1 CONT People look at tombstones and see only the beginning and the end of a life.
1 CONT What happens in the dash of ones life? The significance of ones life are the years between the beginning and the end, the dash. I had the privilege of knowing Faye Elrich for the last 34 years of my life. She is someone that will never be measured by great deeds but by the little things she did over her lifetime. I have traveled to over 65 different countries and have fought in three different wars but have failed to live up to the lifes work of my mother. During my career I always had one advantage over the other guy. At every moment of fear I knew that my mother would be there praying for my protection and to give me the courage to perform my job of leading of soldiers.
1 CONT Faye Elrich was born on May 13, 1921 to Edward and Stella Webber of Stonebluff, Oklahoma. Faye did not get most of the opportunities that we share today.
1 CONT She was reared during the Depression and spent her early adult years working to assist her family as her brothers fought during World War II. Fayes early years are difficult to measure by any worldly means. She chose to serve the greater good by working as a nurse serving those who could not care for themselves. She excelled as a nurse winning friends in her peers and personnel under her care at Kern Medical Hospital in Bakersfield.
1 CONT Faye married Harvey Elrich on June 11, 1954. She was a wonderful wife and mother. They enjoyed 47 years of marriage and friendship. The last two years of marriage she represented what is most important in a spouse by remarkable care of Harvey through the two years in the Veterans Hospital in Los Angeles. She traveled as often as possible to ensure his well being and treatment.
1 CONT Faye departed this world, well prepared for her arrival in Heaven and joined her own parents and Harvey on September 20, 2004. I am comforted that she departed this world in console of Christian hymns and a Pentecostal pastor praying for her comforted departure of this world.
1 CONT Faye will not be remembered for her material possessions when she departed this earth. She will be remembered for her small donations to the youth group ministries and for helping to feed the children of this world. Her charity of Gods work and to her fellow man is comparable to the widow that had but only a mite to give to God. I am comforted that tonight she sleeps in a mansion for remembering what is most important in life.
1 CONT Faye lived a life envied by many but replicated by few. I thank my father and mother for adopting me later in life and giving me the opportunity to grow.
1 CONT They gave up their golden years providing for me. The number one thing I thank them for is teaching me about God and how to be a man.
1 CONT She departed this world to the loving arms of God on September 20, 2004. She was a loving sister to Edward, Ray, Lena Mae and Juanita Webber; mother to John Elrich; wife to Harvey Elrich.
1 CONT Today she is in a far better place and in the arms of those who love and care for her.
