Grief is a journey whose map unfolds one day, one moment at a time.
I am so very sorry to learn that Fern passed. I worked with Fern for around 15 years. She was such a nice person! Very efficient, knowledgeable and patient. I was just starting out as an editorial assistant when I began working with Fern. She was like a mother figure to meso easy to talk with and always provided good advice and counsel. I’ve often thought about Fern since she retired, but I don’t recall ever seeing her again. Please know that Fern had an impact on my life. I will always remember her fondly. God grant her peace and may we meet again someday!
I extend my deepest sympathy to Fern’s family at this difficult time. I worked with Fern at the Foreign Agricultural Service for many years. I always found her to be generous with her time and knowledge.
