To all the Family, I am heartbroken. There was no one more optimistic than your beautiful Mom, Bubbie and Sister. She was always Fernie to me from Public school days and on… I still hear her contagious laugh … she always had the most beautiful smile ..that lit up any room she entered. I will miss you sweet Fernie! My deepest condolences! Bonnie Otto

Dear Marni , Carly Jamie Sandy and families. Michael and I share your sorrow. From the time I was 12 Fernie and I had the very best of times through all our teen years! She was always the most loving and kind person! She used to have us in stitches with her Jerry Lewis impressions and her flexibility that allowed her to turn herself into a pretzel! I taught her how to flirt and she taught me how to find the best in everyone. She will live on in my heart. May your best memories help you at this difficult time.

I too am heartbroken to hear the news of Fernie’s passing. We always played together on the street - both Blaydon and Denbigh - with all the kids growing up in the neighbourhood. And then thru High School. I will miss bumping into her over the years with her beautiful smile, while catching up on our families. Fernie had such a warm and engaging personality. She will truly be missed. May your wonderful memories give you comfort at this very difficult time.

It is truly sad to see this announcement about Fernie. Just reading it is bringing back memories of the time we were together in BBW, when we and others were becoming mothers and turning into the women we are now. Together this group of remarkable young women laughed, played and grew up. We drifted apart over the years as so often is the case but I am sending my deepest condolences on the loss of a beautiful, vibrant, funny woman. Just thinking of her and those happy times makes me smile.
