Fern was special. I enjoyed my visits with her and Bob. We could talk for hours. To me she was a bit of a historian, as she knew something about everything and I hung on her every word. After our visit, I always went home with a pie or baked good that she and Bob made. What a wise woman she was. We will most certainly miss her but will keep her words and advice in our hearts. Our sympathy to Bob and family.
