Dear Carey, Roxanne, Darrell and Kelly, I am so sorry to read of the passing of your wonderful Mom. She was such an amazing support and friend to us when we bought our first home on Cedar Street, right next door. Nothing was too much to ask, from helping my husband change a diaper when I was out, to making sure that the neighbourhood kids had a decent lunch on their way to school, she was there for us all! Fern called it "like it was" and was a great role model of a mother! The world is a better place because of the presence of your Mom. May you find comfort in remembering the good times. With sincere condolences to you and your families, Carol, Seana and Mhairi Carr
