My father thoroughly appreciated and enjoyed those visits They lifted his spirits each day. Mr. Fennell will be missed yet we are so grateful to God for all the wonderful things he enabled him to do.

There are no words to adequately describe how much Mr. Ray meant to so many people at Wayne Memorial Hospital. He touched countless lives just by spreading a smile while walking with someone to their destination. I once asked him about his favorite part of volunteering. He said he took pride in distracting someone with conversation or laughter as they walked to Endoscopy for a difficult test or maybe to the Lab or Imaging. He was glad to be able to calm their nerves even if just for a moment. It takes a special person to care about others in that manner. My prayers to Mrs. Emma and all of the family. The Fennell family is a special one. You're in my thoughts and prayers. I love you all.
Pat and Marvin, Please accept our sincere condolences in the loss of Pat’s father. May you find some measure of comfort in knowing that Bertha and I care about your loss. Please know that we will continue to keep your entire family in prayer. We love you and miss you. Frank & Bertha Alford

Pat ( and Marvin ), Annette and I were so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. We did not know him, but we know his daughter, and she's amazing. And they say that the apple does not fall far from the tree. We hope and pray that God will guide you and your family through this difficult time. We miss you and we love you. Stay well.
