The Bekensteins and the Josephs are more than very close friends. We consider one another as family. Growing up just a few houses down the street, we had an open door policy. Holiday dinner was a given. When I met Fern as a young teenager, she had me and my entire family at hello. She was one of the warmest women I´ve ever known.

So sorry for your loss. Fern was always so love,y and gracious whether chasing us out of the house after we tried to give Mary a popsicle on sideburn to my debutante days and we were reacquainted to catching up with Andy thru life. She loved her kids and her husband and had a killer smile. Know she is up there trying to create peace in our world Claire

I didn´t see Fern often, but whenever I did she couldn´t have been lovelier. A true woman of valor. My deepest sympathies to the entire family. May her memory be a blessing. Fran Grafman
