Dear Fern,
I never had the pleasure of meeting you, but I have known your mom and dad for 40 years and you are my cousin. You were and are blessed to have Marie and Chico as parents and I truly wish I had gotten the chance to meet you. See you in Heaven :).
Your cousin Natalie

My double cousin, my connection to the other side, I’m sad you had to leave us all. I’m sorry I didn’t spend more time with you. I’m sorry we didn’t laugh or cry more. However, I will never be sorry for knowing a beautiful, intelligent, strong minded and loving woman, friend, wife and mother.

Marla, Alicia and Fern
