Rob and family, I'm praying for you, that the God of all comfort would surround your hearts right now, through friends and family as His hands and feet. I also pray that in those quiet moments, you would hear His still small voice speak words of love and comfort to your souls.

 We grieve with you and lift you up to our Lord, the Great Comforter. Find rest in Him. Hold onto the fact that He is always Good, always at work, and always sovereign. He is walking this path with you.

Dear Rob, Heather, Austin and the Entire Hughes Family,
 If only we could know the full extent of God's love, and gratefully it is in the midst of times like this that we get a small glimpse of the marvelous extent of His Grace. Even in times when our hearts feel such pain, we feel like shouting out, "Why"? - then we hear God's 'still, small voice' whispering to us, "climb up into my lap, let me hold you, my child - for I love you with an unending, everlasting love - which knows no limit. So, feel His arms around you and rest in his unfailing Love - for it is on this which we can always depend. We pray for you the Peace which passes all understanding.
 In His Precious Love, Alan & Beverly Combs

I met Faith at Southlawn Church of God when we were younger. She was always smiling. We went to the youth group together and when we became adults Faith and Rob moved to the street behind us. My kids grew up with Rob. Faith was a great person and she seemed to love life. She had Faith in the Lord so I know we will meet again. Faith begin your New Journey with the Lord.

Leta & Rob- Mrs. Smith ,Linda and family: Faith was the best neighbor & friend growing up! It was so fun to see her just a few weeks ago at Hobby Lobby. We held hands and just kept smiling -couldn't believe after all these years we seen each other again. Her smile was as always beautiful and warm. We exchanged phone numbers-so wish we could have gotten together :(she was gonna paint for me:( ...always so talented--from painting to jump rope, piercing ears, doing hair, so many memories. She loved her family! Ps.46:1 God is our refuge and our strength...may His peace that passes our understanding be all over u in the days ahead. Leta, U smile just like your mama did! , U & Rob are as sweet and kind as she was. U kids are so precious! Keep hugging each other & g'ma Smith!! I will be praying . Hug Aunt Linda too-they were such great sisters and friends. Hold on to Jesus and all of your special memories with a very special, sweet,loving mom,daughter,and sister. I will miss u angel- no more pain. with deepest sympathy, your friend,brenda

Dear Robby and Leta and Rob , Our hearts and Prayers go out to all of you in this very sad time. Faith was a good friend to a lot of people.Including me, I always looked up to her ( she was the cool mom) the one who was taking her kids places and doing fun things with them. She Loved her kids. She told me one time that she gave Colin (my son) rides home just so He and Leta would sing to her. . She liked that stuff. (and Colin too) She was such an Artist too. She had a real God given talent, one that is a true gift. I remember when she would stay after school and hang the art on the walls that the students would do, and I know She was looking them over as she put them up. She saw art in every thing. One time when the kids were little,I asked her to draw my kids and I gave her 3 pictures and she put them together and drew them. The likeness is incredible That picture still sits in my bedroom and I will cherish it always. I will Miss you,and I know you are In a place where everything is perfect and beautiful and one day I'll come home too and I'll see you in Heaven. Until then I will keep the good memories of you in my heart.

Faith was one of the most amazing women I've ever met. She was like a second mom when I was growing up. Her daughter Leta and I were very close when we were growing up. Her laugh was contagious, her smile was radiant, and her hugs were always warm and welcoming. She is happier and healthier than she's ever been, and I know she is watching over us from Heaven, waiting for us to join her when its our time. My prayers go out to all of the family, I love you Faith, can't wait to see you again someday.
