I am so sorry to hear of Mrs. Fenuks passing. I will always remember Mrs. Fenuk as a wonderful mother of my childhood best friend. She was a very caring and loving person. She will certainly be missed. I have many fond memories including her attendance at my wedding.

Our hearts go out to you in your time of sorrow. We are deeply saddened by your loss. We will cherish the memories of the times we spent together as dearest friend and Godmother.
Thank you Hattie & Sheila, It is so true how life can be taken away in a moments breath. I never thought this would be happening, we were very close and went out quite a bit, I am having trouble accepting this as she was everything to me. My mother was so healthy. Would love to meet both of you. Please e-mail me.
Sincerely,
Marian Butler
