Your mom was one of the sweetest coworkers I have ever had, and became a very dear friend. I pray you rest in Christ Joy, that assures us of eternity with him and the promise that this life is not the end. I will keep your family in my prayers. Ellen Joyner
Delight, so sorry for the loss of your Mother. I so enjoyed meeting and talking with her when we would see each other out and about town. She was such a sweet and lively person to be around. She was very easy to love. Loved seeing her every year at the Ladies Christmas Exchange at SABC. She always enjoyed going every year and seemed to have such a great time! I will be keeping you and your family in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days. Remember…God’s Got This! Much love, Vickie Lawson Romans 828
Faye had to be one of the most sincere and honest people that I had the honor to meet and work with. She would always tell me when my Uncle Chris had stopped by her branch and serenaded her or the staff with Happy Birthday or just made her laugh. She always brought a smile to my face when I saw her because she was always wearing hers! We will truly miss Faye but we also know that, that big smile is shining down on us all. Rest easy friend…
Delight I am so sorry for your loss. I know Faye was so very proud of you and she and James raised such a fine strong daughter. Faye and I met when I was 17 years old working at United Federal Savings and Loan while in high school and she was 21. She has from that point been a true friend. Way back then McDonalds opened in Rocky Mount and we were working overtime. Faye always joked to me about that because a Big Mac was about the best thing at the time I had ever eaten and all I could do is make mmmmm sounds while I was eating one. She would always say…..let’s go to get a Big Mac and we would laugh. That’s one of the many things we always laughed about. Also, her Uncle Durris married my great great Aunt Mary so we claimed each other as kin. When ever I needed advise I would go to Faye and she was always there. We would talk about the fun and laughs we had and when she and James got married she asked me to be her stand in bride. Back then we thought it was bad luck at the rehearsal for the bride to actually walk down the isle, so I stood in for her. I know today she is with James and her parents and she is smiling and happy. In my heart she will always be my very special true friend and I will miss her greatly.
Delight, I am so sorry for your loss. You are a very special lady and our prayers are with you. May the Lord give you strength and support during a time when the pain is so great. You are thought of fondly by our family and we will continue to hold you up in prayer. Love, Allen, LaRee & all the Langley Family

Faye…always lovely and tender in nature with a fun and spunky side that I enjoyed everytime I was around her! I had the pleasure of working with her through RBC Bank and remember the positive light she brought to her co-workers and customers. The last few times I saw Faye she was out shopping with her daughter and I remember how happy she was in those moments and how she took the time to say hello and catch up with me. My wish to the Family is to find peace and hope in knowing that her loving spirit will live on through You.
It is so very hard to put into words what Faye has meant in my life. We worked together at United Federal for over 23 years. Her bubbly spirit was always a joy. I know that was due to the fact she had Jesus in her heart and He makes all the difference! I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, when her sunset came on this earth her sunrise was in heaven.
What a wonderful gift of LOVE Jesus opened the way for us to life. (Matt.2028 The Bible promises that those who have died will be resurrected to a paradise earth. (John 528,29) Communicate your feeling, Kind words will cheer you up. (Prov. 1225) Keeping your feeling bottled up inside may make it difficult for you to deal with your grief. On the other hand, discussing your feelings with someone you trust will open the way for you to receive kind words of encouragement when you need it most. God will wipe out every tear from their eyes, & death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. (Rev. 214) Talk to God. Likely, you will feel much better after you pour out your heart to Jehovah God in prayer. (Ps. 628) This is not simply a feel-good therapy. In prayer, you are appealing to the God of all comfort, who comfort us in all our tribulation. (2 Cor. 13,4) By these following scriptures. Ps. 3418; Ps. 10217; Ps. 1473; Isaiah 258. It is my hope that some of these will help you, as they did for me. giving, hope to see our loved ones once again
Delight, so sorry for your loss. You don’t know me, but I feel I know you – your precious mother was my personal banker for years, and we always talked about you as you progressed throught life. I’m sure you realize how blest you were to be her daughter. May God hold and comfort you until you are once again reunited with her forever.
To the Family of Faye Stanley Pittman, So sorry to learn about the loss of your Dear Loved One, Faye. Please know that so many people share your grief with you to help you through this difficult time of sorrow. Please accept my deepest condolences as we await the time when Christ Jesus will awaken all of those who have fallen asleep in death; including your Beloved, Faye. (John 1141-44)
Although no words can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that your faith and the love of those around you will help guide you all through the days ahead. The Stanleys were our neighbors long ago when we were all children and I have had the pleasure of talking to Faye through the years in her banking career, from United Federal times until PNC.
) Due to the ramson sacrifice of Jesus Christ, we know that we have the hope of seeing our loved ones once again. The Bible gives us hope, over & over again. Jesus said I am the resurrection, & the life. He that exercises faith in me, though he dies, will come to life again. (John 1125) Jesus also said I am the vine & my Father is the cultivator. (John 151) The Bibles tells us that there will be no more tears, no pain, or sickness & death will be no more. (Rev. 213,4) What a wonderful time, we can look forward to, seeing our loved ones once again.
