I’d like to express my condolences on the passing of Ferne. She was a fellow member of St. Peter’s church. She used to come to quilting each week before her health started to fail. We will miss her dearly

So happy to have met her last summer with my wife Kelly (her grandchild) and our son Jackson.
Will never forget struggling to fit her Walker into our rental car and sharing a meal at one of her favourite restaurants. She was so proud to show us around and tell us stories of her life growing up and with Donald.
She will be missed for sure :)
