Condolences

Lynn and Family,

We are so sorry to hear of your mothers passing, our thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

My sincere condolences to the family of Ferne. She was one of the dear people who called Orange Valley home when she was a child. I only got to know her personally in the last few years but felt like I had known her for many more due to the many stories my grandpa Rod would share with me about her and the Morden family. I treasure the conversations we had about life in the valley and the history she shared with me. My thoughts and prayers are with the family as I know they have lost someone very special.

Lloyd and family. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Ferne was a very gracious lady and a good friend. May she rest in peace and leave you with many precious memories.

Anne

To Lloyd, Lana, Lori and Lynn,
I am so sorry to hear of Ferne's passing. She was a wonderful lady and I am truly saddened to know she is gone.

I am so sorry for your loss. I will miss her dearly.

Ferne was one of the kindest women I have ever known. I so enjoyed our dinners at the high school. She never had a bad word to say about anyone, and had a great sense of humour.
She was so proud of her girls and all the grand children. She would absolutely beam whenever she talked about any of you.
I hope that the wonderful life time of memories help bring you comfort at this time. You are in our thoughts and prayers
Bev and Kevin Hall

Lynn and family
I am very sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She is no longer suffering, and I believe it was her Mom and the Lord who brought her into the world, and they were there to help her into Heaven with all my her friends and family members called home before her. She will always be close by whenever you need her. She carries all of you in her heart, as you will carry her until your journeys on Earth are over. Remember me with kindness, remember me with love, remember my dear family until we meet above. 🤗❤️

Omg I am so sad to hear of this Lynn😞 my heart breaks so bad for you and your family at this time. I absolutely loved and enjoyed serving your parents at trappers. Fern will be missed by me so much. Big hugs to you my friend 💙😞

Our most sincere condolences to the family of Ferne - her friends at Line dancing will miss her !! She was a very special woman.

Lynn and Family, I was so sorry to hear of Ferne's passing. I was fortunate to get to know her when we traveled to France with students all those years ago. She was a lovely lady - always so cheerful. Lynn and Bob, my thoughts are with you in this difficult time.

Our cousin, our friend! How we will miss our summer visits. As Candy Pletzer mentioned, we shared memories of life in Orange Valley and could always just pick up where we left off years ago.
Bye for now, Ferne. Maureen Vigrass Maguire
