What a beautifully fitting celebration of Fern's life today at Green Street Baptist Church. What a Proverbs 31 woman for sure! God's love surround her family and friends at this time.

Dear John, Beth and Rebecca and families: We are thinking and praying for you as you experience this difficult time. Fern was a very special lady and will certainly be missed.
Be assured that Barbara and I are praying for you that God's comforting presence will give you strength and hope, that one day you will see her again, completely healed!
May the words of Jesus give you comfort when He said, "I will not leave you comfortless,
I will come to you." (John 14:18)
Love, Mel and Barbara

Margaret and I fondly remember Fern's grace and insight when we worked together with the youth Sunday School class back in the 1980's. The community and the church have lost an elegant, caring lady.
