‘Shine bright my baby’: The family issued a statement announcing Faye’s death and said they were ‘heartbroken’ as they paid her tribute.
“There is a gaping hole in our lives that can never be filled. Our beautiful, compassionate, intelligent and immensely talented girl is missing.”
“Faye fought with strength and bravery that kept her by the side of those who loved her so dearly and who loved her beyond compare.”
“Faye was the sun, the light, the life we all felt drawn to and wanted to be near, she brought us joy, laughter and the gift of her music, she was the kindest and most generous woman yet so much had to live. ‘Shine bright, my baby.’
In September last year, Faye was diagnosed with the rare glioma in her brain.
It was a devastating blow to the family as she beat leukemia twice after being diagnosed with cancer when she was eight and 18 years old.
