W. Fern Beaman
What a wonderful legacy Fern left! I remember her dressing like clown on the first of the month for the kids in her S.S. class. Her joy and love of God and kids was inspiring. I know she greatly influenced my kids. She will be greatly missed, but it is good to know she is all put back together now. We loved her tons! We will keep you all uplifted in our prayers and let us know if there is anything we can do to help. Love to all.

We've always known her as Fern. First at Central Assembly where she and Gerry attended and for the past 25 years at First Assembly. She had 3 of our grandchildren in her SS classes and they loved her. Clifford and I have so enjoyed her in our SS class. She's been so faithful and thru these last few years so brave and encouraging; trusting the Lord and being such a wonderful example. We will really miss her.

My 'Sincere Condolences" to the family. I only knew Fern for a short time, but each time, she was very sweet and so pleasant. I'll remember her smiling face for a long time. May God comfort each of you and give you Peace.

Fern was always an example of what a "christian" should be. What a wonderful lady. She always had that "Jesus Attitude". We enjoyed visiting with her in December before coming to Florida for the winter. We will miss seeing her at church when we return in April. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Deb, I didn't know your Mom in the short time I attended First Assembly with Bill, but I know she must have been a wonderful and loving lady. You and Gerry and family, as well as other family members will miss her greatly, but will be upheld by the hand of the Father. Blessings to you all.
