Muriel was such a help to us, during those RV building years.
I will always remember her voice, “Fennell’s Trailer Supplies”.
You were such a help to your dear Mom, after your Dad passed away so suddenly. We know that you will miss her.
Love,

sorry for your loss. i know how it feels. my sister and my thoughts are with you at this time.
Bob, I am sorry to hear of the passing of your mom, she always made it special whenever I stopped into your business up on the hill. I think of her quite often when I drive in pass the location, she was unique and I thought how lucky you were able to spend that much time with her, although there were probably times you would disagree with me.

To all the family .
I know that your mom will be missed. How could you not miss a little firecracker like her. I have fond memories of going to the shop any number of times and hearing her tongue – lashing you boys.
She lived a good life and leaves a family with many great memories.
They don’t make them like her anymore.
All the best from Bill and Carol Cole

Mom called about your Mom. Our thoughts are with you. It is never easy to loose a parent at any age.
