Steven, Even though Fawnie and I met on the computer a few years ago, it was a pleasure to finally meet her in person this past July. She fought a long hard battle but God saw how tired she was and decided it was time to bring her home to His loving arms and end her pain. The world is surely a sadder place without her in it. She will be missed. I will keep both you and Fawnie in my prayers and candles. Love hugs and butterfly kisses,

Steven, I'm so very sorry for your loss. Fawnie is going to be missed by many others, also. She was a person who enjoyed life and was such a fine friend. Everytime I have a Tenderloin w/everything, I'll raise it to her. Thankfully, she made it back here last summer, for a visit. I'm going to miss her a lot. Please know you are in my prayers and thoughts. Hugs, Julie
