But the biggest pain was when Todd and Julie were sentenced to prison. My heart broke. I don\u2019t even know how many days I was down. But I had to pray to God for strength and courage to get through it. Because not everyone is treated fairly. But you know, we have to get up. I told my children: we have to rise up, like a tree planted by the water \u2014 we will not be moved. Let people see who we really are. Stand tall, do the right thing, be kind, and let God lead the way.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-144-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12891\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-144-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-144-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-144-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-144-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-144.png 1080w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Behind her words, fans could feel the resilience of a grandmother who not only carries her own pain but also serves as the anchor for her family.

With firm conviction, Faye responded:<br><em>\u201cI\u2019ve learned that you have to be careful, to be mindful, and not fall into the trap of what the media paints. I will not give them that satisfaction. Even though I hurt deeply in my heart, I won\u2019t let anyone see it. I still have to be a mother, a grandmother \u2014 and I know that responsibility. I\u2019ve never done anything wrong in my life. But I must show people what Christ has done for me so that I can keep living. And that\u2019s what I will do\u2026 even though I am still hurting.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"580\" height=\"326\" src=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-146.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12893\" style=\"width:840px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-146.png 580w, https:\/\/topkeynews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-146-300x169.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 580px) 100vw, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Her words highlight more than just personal grief \u2014 they paint a portrait of unwavering faith and inner strength.
