I was Fern's computer guru, although to be honest there was little chance that I had the technical expertise to keep up with her incredible imagination. I did my best to assist as she confided the creative gems she wished to preserve.
This book of poetry is Fern personified and still does not reveal all she was. Her introduction describes her work much better than I.

"Most of these poems have ben written over the last 50 years or so, and have fulfilled a special need in me. But it has been during the last four years -- since my mother has been in a nursing home -- that I have felt especially grateful to be able to express my feelings through poetry. The prayers I've uttered, the tears I've shed, the guilt I"ve felt, seemed to have been eased with every word I wrote. Now you will read my thoughts...my soul bared on paper...and perhaps you will feel the release of my emotions, as you journey through "A Poet's Dream."" (Fern)

This is an inspirational work by an inspirational person. It was a privilege to be considered one of her friends. .. Bob Vollmer

Sincere condolences to Marshall, Lynda, Kevin, and Ginger, and your families. 
On the rare occasions when I saw your mother in later years, she was outgoing, upbeat, and a fighter. Always a pleasure to sit and chat with! I remember meeting Ferne when I was a child in Philadelphia. She was headed to a European vacation with her parents and Joanie before going to college. I was in awe of her maturity!
 And, of course, we were both named after Fayga Molasky.
I’m sure you have lots of wonderful memories to draw upon to ease your grief!
With love from Cousin Phyllis
