    Cousin Roy and family,
    Our hearts goes out to you in the loss of your daughter. I did not know her but I remember our conversations about family when I visited you last. When family hurt, you also hurt.

    Jesus is there
    To hold you in His arms,
    He’ll never leave you alone
    Give it to Him,
    All the hurt within
    Don’t bear it on your own.

    We pray the love of God enfolds you during your journey through grief.
    We send you thoughts of comfort.

    “What we have once enjoyed, we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes part of us.” -Helen Keller

    I am so sorry. There are very few words that can touch the pain you must be experiencing at the loss of a member of your family.

    You will all be in my prayers. Take care.

    Through marriage a couple is joined as one…although no vows are taken the two families also become one.

    My thoughts are with not only Lori, Murray, the girls and their families but also with Gord, Grandpa Zinn , Roy and all the family.

    Fern will be missed and I know we all have our special memories to cherish in keeping her spirit alive.

    Hugs to all.

    Michele

    Roy, I just heard about your daughter and I’m so sad for you. As you well know, we aren’t supposed to have our children die before we do. I’m sorry that Isabelle isn’t there to be with you now. She would have been a comfort. Be well, Terry, Karen, Courtney and Laura.

    Dear Roy and Family:
    So sorry to hear of Fern’s passing. We can’t be there with you but you are most definitely in our thoughts and prayers.

    Dear Gord, Lori & Family:

    We were very, very sorry to hear of Fern’s death. Martin called us yesterday.Thank you Gord for thinking of us.

    We will not be able to make it to her wake, however, as we are in Knoxville, Tennessee on our way home from Florida, staying at Mary’s, (who drove us from Florida).

    Martin is coming to get us on Thursday and we will head for home on Friday. (We are not allowed to drive home ourselves). However, be assured we will be over to see you, Gord, and Roy as soon as possible.

    It’s a funny thing, but Fern has popped into my mind numerous times recently. I said a prayer or two for her OK? We have many very happy memories of fun times spent together.

    God Bless you all at this difficult time. Be assured of many prayers being offered up for y’all.

    Sincerely

    Patrick, Angela Clarke and Mary Black.

    Dear Gord, Lori, AND FAMILY

    My prayers and thoughts are with the whole family at this time. Fern was one of the first people that I meet when we moved to Lucan in 1968, then was honour to have her as a good neighour for over 30 years. Lots of chats and memories to go with that time. Thinking of you Sheila
