Alene was a joy to visit. I always went away with a blessing. She love the Lord! We, her church family, will miss her but we will see her again at the heavenly homecoming! God bless her family!
Alene was a precious lady. It was a blessing to have been able to get to know her and assist with her care. You all were blessed to have the honor to call her Mother. Hold on to the memories of this special lady until you meet her again in Heaven. Will be praying for you as you adjust to not having her here.
Thank you for your kind words. Mom loved everyone at Fleshers. Thank you so much for assisting with her care. I know she’s at peace now.
I am so sorry to here of Alena’s passing . She was a great lady and will be missed by her friends and family. My condolence to Kenneth. Wendy, Sylvia and all the family. God’s blessings and comfort to all. ❤️
Angela Bentley Dendy, Randy Hembree’s cousin and Pam’s long time friend. Had many enjoyable weekends at the Fureys. Beautiful old home. Zillion dollar view. Just think of the beauty in Aunt Alene’s new Heavenly home.
