    Our condolences on your loss. Fena was a sweetheart and we have wonderful memories of family gatherings at her home, especially enjoyed the pickled herring and black olives she always served. All four Grochow girls made it into their 90s. Good German stock. We thank God for the legacy they left. Love from Clint (nephew) and Jaine Firstbrook
