My Aunt

HAPPY BIRTHDAY FAYE,

Let me tell you about a special Aunt, Faye Toney
She was born on Oct. 22, 1939 in Alabama, the sixth of 7 children born to Paul and Hazel Hocutt. She graduated from University of Montevallo and achieved a M.A. from the University of Alabama. After teaching for 25 years at Minor High School, she retired to do full-time mission work for the Southern Baptist Convention with her husband, Furman Toney. They both served as missionaries to Botswana, Africa and in Waianae, Hawaii. She has traveled to Israel (several times), England and Mexico. Although she never actually gave birth to children of her own, she is a mother to many, including myself. The 25 years of students she taught, the many children in Africa, Hawaii and many more across the U.S. are all her adopted children.
Family and serving others has always been an important part of her life. I have never known anyone as giving, caring, compassionate and having a heart for serving others. I see Jesus in her and she is a loving example for all of us. I love you Faye.

P.S. She makes the best banana bread and carrot cake (without nuts of course).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPHEN
Coming 6 weeks early we were told that you might not survive. You were early as usual. You have been a joy to us for 28 years and the christian man that you have become only makes us love you more. You have had your share of bumps but you have stayed committed to God. What a example to pass on to your children. Sorry this Birthday message is late, but with your father in the hospital for the past week my brain would just not function. Thank you for your love and support this past week. We love you.
