We love you very much and miss you everyday. we miss giving you kisses and hugs.
You will always be in my heart & soul. I love & miss you very much
God Speed & Bless You!!!!
I am the youngest of Fern's three children so I got away with alot more than my brother & sister. However she always kept me grounded-as much as she could. It is for this reason I am who I am today!!!! She always had a stern hand with a loving touch. She supported me through life even when she didn't agree with the choices I made. When I was nine I was bit by a dog on the left side of my face,needing surgery & almost losing my eye. My Mom never stopped telling me throughout my life how beautiful I was/am. Somedays I even believed her. When I was 15 years old I had a serious & fatal drug addiction. My Mom did not think twice about coming & taking care of me. She truely saved my life yet again! The day I graduated from school Mom told me she was proud of me!The day I got married she said once again she was proud of me! My whole life I've tried not to be "MY MAMA'S DAUGHTER"! Today I'm proud to be"MY MAMA'S DAUGHTER"! No Mom it is me who is proud of you!!!! Save me a seat at the 42 table-I'll need a partner when I get there! I LOVE YOU MOM!!!!
Fern was a woman that defined wisdom,sacrifice,knowledge,& love. Love above all. She dedicated her life to insuring that her "family"-from her children,grandchildren,brothers,sisters,& all that she loved were advised,protected,loved,& well guided in our lives& the paths we all have choosen to take & yet to take. Sacrifice is hard to define & yet easy to see! She purely embodied this trait as she gave all she had to aid those that she felt was/were FAMILY! She gave everything she had & more to try to improve my life & every life she touched. It is for this reason we all have gathered here today.To celebrate the birth, life,& all that comes with the great gift of a woman with a warm smile or a kind word or a warm "Welcome Home" & a big hug!!!! She radiated this no matter where she went or who she came in contact with. It is this kind of person who will comfort all of us in this time of grieving.It is this kind of person that will always be in our hearts & we will always remember. God speed & we Love You Always!!!!
R.I.P Aunt Fern. You are gone, but NEVER forgotten. You are now re-united with Uncle Alton in eternity. I LOVE YOU & WILL MISS YOU DEARLY.
We love you very much and miss you. You gave your family all the love and joy that you could.
Please know that my love and prayers are with y'all at this most painful time…. My fondest memory of Fern is sitting with her in the morning at her table and sharing a cup of coffee (along with a spoonful of wisdom)with her….and the day the doctors drugged her up and with Lori on one side of her,..and me on the other..we looked like 3 drunken lesbians going thru the parking lot…we all laughed …On another note…"Mama" I miss you already, I am so sorry I didn't make it home in time…Rest with the Angels Mama..for now you are one with them… I Love You Always Barbi
