Teri, Linda, and Cathy:
My thoughts are with you. I know your mom still lives in your hearts.

Thanks for sharing Fern with me. I enjoyed my brief acquaintence with her. Her lifes accomplishments and challenges were evident in her strong character even when she had health challenges. Speaking of character- what a sense of humor she had! She made my mom, her Arbor supper sister, laugh. She was a friend to my mom at a time when she needed one.

Kathy, Linda, and Terry,
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. Aunt Fern was a rare gem. She could light up any room with her presence. I loved to sit and listen to her tell stories of when she was younger. She was a great lady.
Please know that you are all in my prayers.
