You were stolen and murdered by monsters in the most unfathomable manner possible.
We – as a large and loving community, are all grieving your loss. Your partner Manny and your 4 babies are too.
What a gentle, beautiful girl you were. A proud mother, partner, and symbol of elegance and grace, you will always be in our hearts, Faye.
You were one of many, many cygnets who gently swam in the Village of Manlius’ Swan Pond in its 100-year history, and we hope you won’t be the last.

You, Manny, and so many of your duck friends created so much joy and fond memories. It was a tradition for many of us to visit The Swan Pond, especially after getting ice cream at Sno-Top just a short walk away.

You taught us to appreciate – and respect – nature. Sadly, not everyone is capable of that – which is why we need to step up to protect future generations.
You were the newest angel in a long tradition, Faye, and now, you really are one. Please keep watch over Manny and your babies, and you’ll never be forgotten.
