Our sincere condolences to the family of Mrs. Fenton. It has been 48 years ago this month that we signed up to rent a very nice apartment on Kelton Avenue in Columbus, Ohio. We have such fond memories
of Mr. and Mrs. Fenton. They were always so kind to us as newly weds.
We remember how hard they worked and enjoyed doing so. We will always cherish those memories and their kindness.

We will donate to our church's food pantry in memory of "Bill and Esther" God bless you and your wonderful Parents.

Sincerely John and Kay Sergio
