I knew Fern as the mother of one of my daughter's close friends when the girls were in middle school and high school. She was a lovely person and very creative. My condolences to the whole family.

Fern Migdal, was a dear friend for many years. She traveled with me and Sheilah Haid to Paris and we spent many happy days togetherl We also spent a very happy holiday with Fern and her children before any of them were married. I also attended her Bat Mitzvah, I will miss her very much.
