Growing up with only my moms side of the family in Chicago, I will always remember Fern being so loving and kind to me. She has a very special place in my heart. Having Karen & David as playmates when at family got together was always fun. I feel very fortunate when in Chicago in the fall of 2022 that I was able to visit Fern and know that made a special day for her and for me. A memory that I will always cherish.
Karen and David, our family would like you to know how sorry we are for your loss and sending condolences and love your way. We should all be so fortunate as Fern to have had such a loving husband, Sheldon and the grandchildren and great grandchildren that you two made possible.

With love,

Richard Angelis
