May you find gentle comfort each day as you hold the tenderness close that Fern shared throughout her life.
Our lives were blessed by Fern's kindness for many years in Rye, CO.
My boys and I would ride horseback to her house that was situated just a few miles from ours and be welcomed with the best pancake breakfasts and the latest tales of racoons, squirrels and deer who had decided to feast in her garden.
She was a delight and treasure.
