Linda, Kathy, Hugh,
Your mum was a wonderful woman. I had many fun times at your house on Front Street. What an amazing memory she had. She will be missed. With love,

My condolences go out to your family on your recent loss.

I'm actually a distant relative and I've actually just came across this obituary while working on our Fleck Family tree. Fanny would have been my 3rd cousin Once Removed - In Law (if that makes any sense). If anyone from the Fleck family would like to see any of the info I have, or may have some additional they wish to add, feel free to contact me at [email protected]

Kathleen and family: Rose, Carol, Warren and Larry Barker want you to know how sorry we are that your mom passed on. We were just reminiscing about how Fanny and Rose travelled out to South Dakota and how much fun they had. May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
