My MOM was a BLESSING!



Today, once again, I was going to call you! I thought about what was going on in our lives 14 years ago, and we could talk about the wonderful day Lacey was born. (MOM was so excited, and trying to be helpful during delivery and asked if I wanted a drink of coke, and I snapped, if I want a drink, I'll ask for a drink!) She was the best MOM, even after I had been so rude, she was still loving towards me!!!



I miss her voice!

Grammy, Bamma, Great Grandma, Mom, Wife, Fern, Mary, Friend, Coworker, Neighboor; she had a lot of names, titles, and meaning to each and every one of us. I believe Grandma would be very proud of my father for the incredible fortitude and patience he has had through all of this. Grandma would grab Clark and smile so big because he has overcame a lot of negativity and hurdles many of us, even himself, didn't think he would accomplish. She would tell her beautiful daughter that I'm proud of you for taking care of your responsibilities, everybody respects you and understands. As far as what she would say to her grandchildren, I think we know...she told me months before she passed away...Krista, it will be okay, your strong, your a survivor. We are all survivors dealing with her loss in our own special way. I think almost everyday Hunter knows when I am thinking about her because she will ALWAYS say to me with her little voice, I wish Great Grandma didn't leave us. It takes a lot out of me to just say, "me too". When, I should be saying, "she hasn't, just think about her trying to squeeze the energy out of you and all of those kisses she gave you". I love you.

Just wanted to let my family know that we are a strong bunch and we all should be proud of ourselves. And be thankful that grandma and grandpa touch each of our lives. They are looking down now and are probably very proud of each and everyone of us. Love you all..

My 3 sisters were all born in Feb. Lois 18, Fern 21 & Alice 23. I always felt like the odd man out, as I am July. Not a day goes by, that I don't think of all of them. I was never as close to Lois as Fern and Alice, but I miss both of them so very much. When I hear the song, "Will the circle be unbroken," I pray that all our loved ones will find the Lord, and when our time comes, we will all be together again. Love you Stalcup kids. Aunt Hazel

There are so many things I want to mention about Fern. What stands out the most in my mind is that she was a giver of LOVE. She taught me what LOVE is by her unconditional love. She was always there to support and guide me. More importantly over the years, I grew to love her like my own mother.



Happy Birthday, Fern! There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you. I miss you so much!!!

I lived next door to Fern for thirty-eight years I could not have had a better neibhgor than Fern.we used to raise gardens, we would get what ever we wanted from it. We would talk over the fence about different things I really miss her but thats what we all have to do. She is really missed.

I consider a great privilidge to have known (Fern), She has taught me the kind of strength and patience it takes to keep a household full of such wonderful and strong people. She taught me the value of perseverance and to finish what was started, she always had the right thing to say when I needed it. I truely think that her legacy is awesome (just look at her offspring) and as far as I am concerned she will always be with us in the hearts and lives of everyone who was blessed to have shared time with her.

It always looks funny to see my sister referred to as "Mary". When I was just 6 years old, one of her boyfriends asked me what her other name was, and I told him, "Mary". She was really angry with me for telling her secret, but she got over it pretty fast.

I think of her daily, and can not tell you how much I miss her.

Keep your eyes on Jesus. I love you Stalcup kids, Aunt Hazel

My grandmother wasn't just a grandmother that spent time with her grandchildren out of convenience or because she felt she "had to", she truly appreciated every moment, we had spent together. She always put us on this magnificient pedastal and showered us with words of encouragement. She believed in ALL of us. The definition of encourage is to strengthen, prevail, harden, be strong, become strong, be courageous, be firm, grow firm, and be resolute. Grandma, we will never forget your strength and the strength you instilled in this family.

I can not express in words how very much we appreciate every one's help and sympathy in our time of mourning. In my life I have had my heart broken,I have been scared, and I have felt so alone, but when my whenever I needed that extra boost to keep me going all I had to do was to call my little mommy...If there is truly a supreme being, he is one of the luckiest people I know, because he now gets to share his time with my Fern...I love and miss you Mom.......

Just wanted everyone to know that we all appreciate the love and sympathy everyone has shown.

My grandmother was a great lady. She truly loved her family. We were blessed to have her in our lives. So many memories of laughter, tears(from the laughter) and tenderness from her.

I truly have learned respect and patience from her and my grandfather. They have made a huge imprint on my sister ( Krista ) and I.

To Clint and family. All my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time. I know it's late, but I just saw this and wanted you to know I'm thinking of you. May God's peace be with you all.

What a joy Aunt Fern was to all our lives. We have many fond memories of our visits to her and Uncle Chuck with hours spent around the kitchen table talking and playing games. I think our favorite vacation of all times was when all the boys, Mary Ann, and I visited, saw the beautiful sites of Colorado, and spent wonderful time with them.



Life is eternal and death is but a threshold to the world of spirits where she now is happily enjoying the company of her beloved husband and all those of her family gone before.
