The family had a private family mass said for Fern at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church. If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Condolences”.
I am the eldest son of Fernande’s sister Jeannine who passed away in 2011. I wish to offer my condolences to the family. As far as I know, her only surviving siblings of 11 children are Gilberte, Pierrete and Gaetane. I now live in Calgary.
My sincere condolences to Ginette, Brian and Christine and all family members. It is difficult to have family and supportive friends attend at the funeral service with the trial that faces us all. May Fern rest in the loving arms of Jesus as she abides in His love eternally.
Blessings to you all.
