Thanks for responding Gerroald.
In an effort to bring the website back I removed WordFence.
After reviewing the documentation in the link you sent I have cleaned up a few files that remained on the root of the site. (Modified .htaccess, .user.ini and removed wordfence-waf.php, wflogs and wordfence-waf.php)
So at this point WordFence is completely removed from the website. This took a considerable amount of time and effort to figure out on my own as I am no pro at wordpress.
I really liked WordFence. I don’t have time to take a chance on reinstalling it right now.
At some point I would like to try the premium paid version and have the support
