Sorry to hear of Ferns passing. She sure was a character every time I would see her on the street or when I would wait on her at the bank. I enjoyed talking to her and her comments were pretty right on the head. You all are in our prayers.

To all the Walters family - sorry for your loss. Your Mother was a very talented lady. She helped a lot of young 4-Her's with her gifts! Always willing to help when something didn't quite "fit" too. Thinking of you at this time ~ Rick and Pat (Scott) Curts
