Dear Fenske Family,
We are deeply saddened and shocked to hear of Paul’s passing. Paul spent a lot of time during his youth playing with my brother Kris at our parent’s house. Paul was quite the hoops player and he participated in many hard-fought basketball games against us older kids in their driveway. He never backed down to a driveway challenge.
On behalf of our entire family, please know our thoughts and prayers are with the entire Fenske family during this difficult time.
To all the Fenske Family;
Our deepest sympanthy and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time.
Jessie and Logan Krone
My deepest sympathy to your family. Words seem inadequate to express how we feel about Paul’s death. I wish I could be there with you during this difficult time. God bless all of you.
Our deepest sympathy on the loss of your son. Our prayers go out to all of your family. Losing a child, no matter what age, is one of the hardest things a parent has to go through.
Kristi, Ann & Floyd,
We would like to express our sympathy in the loss of your husband/son, Paul.
We travel that area just about every weekend and will always remember the sad accident. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.
In behalf of “Helping Hands” of St. Paul Lutheran Church, we would like to express our condolences to you. If there is anything we can help you with, please call the church or myself.
Peace be with you.
Kristi, Floyd, and Ann,
Our deepest sympathies for your loss. He was a good man and a great friend.

Tina
Kristi and all family members & friends,
I am so sorry for the loss of Paul. Words cannot express how sorry I am for your loss, and also how you are all feeling right now. With time comes some healing, but grief does take a LOT of time. I hope there may be a little comfort in knowing that we at GRHS are thinking of you in your time of need. And someday, you will take some comfort in knowing that Paul is in heaven, and probably enjoying some outdoor fun up there. And, if there is anything I can do, don’t hesitate to ask.
You are ALL in my prayers,
Cheri Knudson
