Dear Family,

I too just learned of Aunt Fern’s passing and am so very sorry that we could have been there with you. She will truly be missed, as she was such a blessing and a joy to be around. She was always there for “ALL” of us when we needed her most with all the love & compassion she could give. There are many fond memories I will treasure as I’m so happy to have had her in my life. All of you are in our thoughts and prayers.

Fern was a very caring and kind person. She will be missed by all her friends. Losing a loved one during the holidays is very difficult. We lost Mom on November 16. May the Lord comfort and bless you at this time.
