Passing and Remembrance of a Resident of San Carlos Elms


Dear Scott and SCELMS ~Angels!

My Father,
Retired USAF Major, Robert W. Fenger, passed at 9:23pm on Weds. May 30th, I was singing, "Amazing Grace" to him, holding his hand and "Pie" our 5 month old French Bulldog was sitting on his bed.
He never opened his eye's but I felt he knew we were there..he took a long breath and then everything just stopped and he was Flying off to Heaven.
Finally, all of pain and struggle my parents had with poor health concerns has ended and they are together once more. Thank you for you love, support and concern during these last three years.I'm sincerely thankful for the wonderful care that was provided to my father at the San Carlos Elms and all of the care provides that assisted him daily with all of his personal needs...and knew him fondly as "BOB". All of these wonderful caring and patient people are indeed earthly Angels!
THE BLESSING I personally have received in the PEACE I now recall remembering that I was holding his hand as he walked into Heaven!How very special that was for me and an honor to be his only child in this lifetime..and to guide him onto his next journey. The Lord Bless and Keep you Dad!...
"Well Done, Good and Faithful Servant".

With Sincere Love and appreciation,
Linda and Patrick and Jim Fenger
