I always thought very highly of Mrs. Fennell. She was a sweet person inside and out. She was always so kind to our children. I've thought of her often during the years and was shocked to see that she has passed on. I'm sure she's missed by everyone who knew her. Continue to rest in the Arms of Jesus.
The best of the best.
