January 18, 2016 at 8:47 amOur deepest sympathy to all your family. You had a beautiful Mother with a great personality.. My Mother enjoyed Fern so much and loved to visit with her. She will surely be missed by all who was close to her. I was so glad to renew those special times with her as she and Mom waited for me to arrived at the Waffle House after club meetings. Thinking of your family in your sorrow and wishing you peace and comfort in the days ahead. Mother really wanted to attend the memorial but the cold temperatures kept her at home.
