Faith is dead

I first met Faith at a Pennsylvania Mental Health Consumers' Conference some years ago.She lived in Philly. She was attending a clubhouse program daily. She enjoyed getting dressed up and she could dance real fine.
She was good with make-up and good with people. She lost enough weight not to need her c-pap machine anymore.

Faith could talk. She had things to say and she said them. When Philly David's sister Marie died, Faith was the first one to share memories of Marie at the memorial service. Philly David sent Faith Marie's beads. Faith liked to make her own jewelry.

Faith was a member of friendsofsapphoq in good standing. She rarely e-mailed in, but when she did, her comments were insightful and right on the money. And she had dreams.

She dreamed of a day when she could be self-supporting. She wanted to be a cosmotologist-- something I believe she would have been damn good at.

Philly David tried to ring Faith on her cellphone the other day but it was out of service. Thinking that odd, he called her home number. Her mother answered. Faith was dead. She died on May 4th. She was in her late twenties.
