Over the years I've regrettably lost touch with my Evansville family... But I've always kept such wonderful memories of my Aunt Fern. She had a smile and contagious energy that made everyone feel happy.
I look forward to reconnecting with my cousins, Aunt Carol, and all the new additions to their families. Know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers. ... I know my Dad is happy to see his sister again.
Love, ~Diane Schmidt Hall
