Sorry I was not able to get a flight to be at your funeral but I want to thank you for always being there for me in my life.
You were always cheerful and made the most out of life. I know that you are in a better place with your brothers and sister. The last of your family. The youngest.....You were a good mother auntie person and friend.

Family was very important to my Great Auntie Fern and she will always be remembered and loved by me for her efforts to get "The Family" together at Woodlawn Park every 4th of July... She was a good cook and an even better singer
