Fern ill never forget the first day i met you at jeanne jugan residence. You asked me is it always this cold around here? Arthur was right. From then on we hit it off like old friends despite me being young enough to be your granddaughter. I had the pleasure of helping you get ready for your day. You always laughed at my jokes and always asked if i had any new ones. We had a great friendship only one you and i could understand. It wont be the same at the home without you. Thank you for being my friend. I lost a piece of my heart when you went to heaven. Ill never forget you. I love you. My condolences to your family and friends.
