So sorry for your loss, Fred and Judy.  Your mom was an example of love in action!  Her legacy lives on through you and her grandkids.

One of the last great ladies from LA RPC where my sisters and I grew up. A lovely lady . Love to all the family, Barbara Birdsall Makowski

Fern was such a lovely godly woman. We enjoyed going out to eat with her. She told me stories about her family. Thank the Lord for putting us together. We visited her many times after she moved back. She will be missed but in a lovely place with her Lord

We were so richly blessed to know this wonderful, godly lady.  She impacted many lives with her strong faith while she was here in Colorado Springs, including all of us in the Sunday night Bible study.  We know that she is now rejoicing in the presence of her Lord and Savior.

   What a Day of Thanksgiving to go "home" to be with her Lord and Savior.   She was a great Christian example to her whole family, and to so many others, as well.  We will miss her bright smile and the twinkle in her eyes, but it is such a joy to have known her, and to know that she is with her Lord, and with Tommy, and Gerry, and Jim, and all the rest of her family who have preceeded her to Glory.
    We miss you Mom.

Fred and Family,
Fern was truly a fine lady to everyone she met.  I had the pleasure of sitting next to her a number of years ago at dinner  at Gerry and Allen's home when the Frank E. Evans had our reunion in San Diego.  A wonderful lady to us all.
We will miss her as well.  "Lest We Forget"

Fred, Judy and family,
   What a blessing Fern was and continues to be in all of your lives. Her example of perseverance, grace and strong faith, in light of personal losses, is an inspiration to us all. Our hearts and prayers are with you and your family, we love you guys and cherish our friendship.
Dennis and Denise

We will never forget this wonderful, godly woman. She attended our weekly Bible study together with Tommy, Gerry and Alan. Now three of them are together in Heaven. May the Lord comfort all of your families.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. Frances Botto Camagna and family. My brother was one of the Lost 74

Beautiful tribute to my beautiful Grandma. Thank you, Uncle Fred. Praying for you and the rest of the family as we mourn our loss, but rejoice in Heaven's gain.

HI FRED, JUDY & FAMILY
Our hearts & prayers go out to you and your family.
Leonard & Norma Despain

We will miss your love and support and your beautiful smile at our reunions.  We will continue our fight for recognition for Jim.

Hi Kerr Family,
Just thinking of you.  Fred's mom was a wonderful, gracious and strong woman.  Sounds like she had a full life even thought it was filled with challenges I know you will miss her.  Bob and Marie Hall

We speak of her often with her great-grandchildren. We will always be able to share our wonderful memories of her with them.

What a blessed life Fern lived and shared with so many.  We are sorry for your loss but are comforted knowing she loved life and now is celebrating Heaven's peace.

To the Kerr Family,
Can't say how sad I was to hear of Fern's passing.  Her spirit and dedication to family will be missed.  From the USS Frank E. Evans Association we want you to know that we will never give up the fight to get her Son Jim's name on the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington, D.C.

"Lest We Forget"

We met Fern at the USS Frank E. Evans reunions. She was a very gracious lady and loved by all of us. We will all miss her.

May God Bless and keep you Fern. You will always be a cherished friend.

The sadness of your leaving is only surpassed by the happiness you feel in being with your Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and your family and friends.  Your life, love and teachings were an example we should all follow, and there is love and well wishes being sent to Jim and the rest of your family.  RIP, Granny Fun.

May the Lord continue to bless you Fern, and all your children, grandchildren, and friends on Mother Earth.  Rest in Peace, knowing you have left a remarkable story and legacy behind, and continued blessings as you reside with Father in Heaven.  I also want you to continue to realized that your son, Fred, was one of the best student's I had during my 10 years at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, CA, and I've always been proud of his accomplishments too.  RIP Fern, and God Bless.
