I feel your loss.....it is great! It is good to know there is no more pain and Fern is at peace in Heaven with our Lord and her family and loved ones who departed before her. From the moment I met Fern I felt her inward peace and beauty and was drawn to her. So loving, so caring for her own. Had we lived close I would have made a pest of myself each day as I would have been there to visit and enjoy her kindness. I would have been proud to have her as my adopted mother. I will forever have a snapshot in my mind of her sitting at the table among family laughing and enjoying herself. She will be missed by many. Although we did not spend a lot of time together I loved her.....and will always smile when I think of her.
