To the family of Mrs Fern Barnes: My deepest sympathy to you at this difficult time. I wish I could be with you at this time honoring your beloved mother. I had the opportunity to live either beside or across the street from Fern, Janet, and Norma for most of my life in Ohio. Fern made such a positive influence on everyone who had the pleasure to know her. She was cheerfull, courageous and always took such a kind interest in others. Even though she will be dearly missed, we have such wonderful memories of her and know that she is always with us in spirit. Sandy Barnes
