Uncle Martin Ferm-Grandma's Brother

WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 10, 2008 02:16 PM, CDT

Today was the day. Martin left peacefully at 11:00 a.m. with Carrie by his side. Jay was nearby, and the rest of us joined in shortly. We are grateful that we were able to all be together for this transition, the six original Rock Island Ferms.

Arrangements for a family dinner on Saturday and a memorial service on Sunday are in the conceptual phase and subject to change. Details will be posted as soon as they are finalized.

Thanks again for your love and support!

Cousin Roger visits Uncle Martin in
Rock Island, IL only a couple weeks ago.
I wish you all had met him
He is in the last days of his life
after a 2 year battle with cancer.
Roger rented a convertible just to give Martin a nice ride.
