Hi Fern
I just wanted to have this last talk with you.
I am so thankful you were in my life.
You were my ultimate friend and travel companion. So easy and relaxed to be with.
I loved how you loved to see me excited about things. Maybe my excitement stirred something in you.
I loved that I could always count on you. You were always ready to try out anything I had in mind.
Our road trips to Santa Fe and southern Colorado.
Just going west the to Moab Utah because I wanted to see rocks.
The spectacular monsoon season in the Grand Canyon where we danced in the rain. I rewatched that video. We were so joyous. I think I even got you to scream across the canyon.
Our last trip to Hawaii was awesome. We drove around in our rented red convertible sports car seeing wonders upon wonders - live volcanoes, whale sightings, meeting lovely people along the way.
And back in Denver:
Our simple “dates” where we would just schmooze out. At your place or mine. Or go to fairs and exhibitions on the weekends. I just loved being with you. I simply loved you.
We were never talked out! You knew so much of everything…and you shared it with me generously. You sent me tons of articles of interest. You taught me about all types of therapies which I can’t even pronounce.
You were my ultimate partner in calorie crimes. Your Thelma to my Louise. You would taste anything. And if it was sweet you would go beyond taste and gobble it down. I know you didn’t eat that way at home but I always awed at the amount of food you ate without being a huge tubby-wubby! And how you loved to come over to Hila and check out her cooking.
You were interested in everything. And baby - you traveled. I admit I was jealous of your ability to travel so lightly, so well and so much.
I also saw your “other side” and forgave you for it. How you protected your possessions and how distraught you were when I dropped your camera in Poland. Your hoarding of bottles and cosmetic samples and purses(bags), cards, computer cables and all sorts of electronic connectors etc. - just in case.....
Your organisational talents were extraordinary. Your telephone book should be a Smithsonian treasure. You wrote names, telephone numbers, addresses, birthdays, names of family members, favourite food, likes-dislikes, height, weight, eye colour etc etc etc.
I’m so sorry this terrible disease and its side effects were so hard on you. It was hard to see you suffering.
It will be so hard to go to Denver and not schmooze with you on a daily basis.
I still can’t grasp the fact that you no longer exist as I knew you.
How can it be that the next time I’ll be in Denver - you won’t be there?
Love you
Monique

I just learned Fern has died.
Fern is still a force of love and laughter in my life. I no longer live close nor have I been in touch often, but she is alive in my memories and I am forever grateful for knowing her.
Love to Udi and family.

אודי יקירנו,
התאהבנו בך ובשלומית שלך ממפגש ראשון. עד היום רגשותינו אלה רק התגברו.
בעיני שלומית היא התגלמות של רוח חפשית ורגליים קלות.
מצאנו בה תמימיות כובשת לצד תיחכום של מי שראה עולם ומלואו.
ראינו בה פתיחות כלפי כולם, ילדים ( כולל שלנו), צעירים ובוגרים וזקנים. דיברה עם כולם ודיברה אל ליבם של כולם. פתיחות מיוחדת, שנבעה מהענין שהיה לה בבני אדם. ובעקבות הענין והפתיחות, באו הכנות, הדאגה, האהבה והנדיבות, שלא חסכה בהם. וכל אלה גברו כפל כפליים כשאתה לצידה.
לא היינו לידכם בשנים האחרונות הקשות, אבל בכל שיחה שלי עם שלומית, והשיחות לא היו תכופות מספיק, היא ידעה להפגין אופטימיות.
תנחומים ממשיים בחסרונה של שלומית - קשה למצוא. ואולי אין.
אנחנו מקוויםששלומית הגיעה, גם אם מוקדם מדי, אל מנוחתה, ןתהי זו - עדן.
נשמתה הייתה חפשית בחייה ובמותה תמריא אל חירות גדולה יותר.
שנינו מוסרים לאיתי, לרובין ולמשפחותיהם את השתתפותנו בצערם.גם אנחנו מצרים איתכם.
ולך, אודי יקירנו, חיבוקים חמים חמים.
חנה ואבי

לפני שעברנו מישראל לקולורדו, רוני אלוני אמרה לנו שיש לה בת דודה בדנבר שהיא תשמח לקשר אלינו. אנחנו, צעירים ישראלים, בציניות האופיינית, חשבנו שנסמן וי על להיפגש עם בת הדודה, ונמשיך בחיינו. אבל לאחר שנפגשנו עם שלומית גילינו שיש לנו משפחה פה בקולורדו.
איזו אישה כל כך מחבקת, מתעניינת, מזמינה. לא נתקלים באדם עם לב כל כך גדול לעיתים קרובות. החזקת את שני הילדים שלי כשהיו בני כמה ימים, באהבה גדולה כאילו היו הנכדים שלך.
זכינו בך, זכינו להכיר את אודי החכם והענו, את הילדים והנכדים המקסימים שלך - שבט בר-אוו, את משפחת היימן, ואת שטף המבקרים שהגיע מישראל ותמיד היה מגיע לביתכם הפתוח והנעים.
ידעת לחגוג את החיים ולהנות מהדברים הקטנים וגם הגדולים. ריח של תינוק, טיולים ברחבי העולם, אנשים, חברים, ומשפחה.
זכינו לצעוד איתך בהרים, להיפגש בחגים ושמחות, בבראנצ׳ים המפורסמים של אודי, וגם סתם לכוס קפה מזדמנת - עם הילדים והנכדים, או רק שתינו. קשה להאמין שלא אזכה לעוד מפגש, לעוד החלפת מסרונים, לעוד חיבוק, לעוד שיחה איתך. תחסרי לי מאוד. העצב שוטף מרוב אהבה וגעגוע למה שלא נספיק עוד.
יהי זכרך ברוך

Fern had a kindness and authenticity that you don't find everyday. Her laugh was infectious and her spirit inspiring. I was fortunate enough to have this absolute kick ass woman in my life for most of it. Fern being Fern was an amazing gift and I will do my best to honor her memory by loving and living life with great intention and joyfulness; the way she did.
I love you Fern.

The thing that most strikes me about Shlomit is her smiling eyes and soft speech. I would get together with her occasionally when I was visiting my parents in Denver and always with my 2 little boys. Because that’s how she preferred it. She loved kids. From the first time we met she always made sure to bring along a big bag of little toys and cars she had saved from her own children. My boys remember that occasionally she would let them choose one to keep and that was a real treat. As they grew older, she’d ask me before we were set to meet if she should bring other kinds of toys, more age-appropriate.
She gave me sound advice about parenting in her soft and non-judgmental way and we could talk about anything and everything.
I miss her balanced presence as I haven’t seen her in a while.
She touched our lives in a meaningful way.

Thank you for sharing your amazing wife, Mom, sister, grandmother, beautiful soul with us. Fern was my favorite cousin ever, so nice! Not just nice, amazingly truly sweet. She was glue that helped hold my family together earlier in my life. For that I will always be grateful for being part of Fern’s and your family. With all love.

I so loved you-still do-and will always
I MISS YOU, FERN!
Fern is one of the most beautiful, caring, non-judgmental people I’ve ever known!!! She was always ready for an adventure, be it going to a Bob Dylan concert, organizing a Tibetan Singing Bowl ceremony, or just hanging out. There’s a large hole in the world and in my heart. Fern was the sister I never had.

The greatest tribute to Fern would be to love, and then love more. Truly I don't believe I have ever known someone who had such a love affair with the people and the places on this earth. My heart is with the many who loved her and especially her family. My life is better because of her beautiful light. Peace

You came to Prague and we danced in a club until early in the morning. You were so carefree and fun. You reached out to me, always with an invitation to get together. We worked out together in your basement, you and me and Radek, and you kicked our butts. Your driving terrified me, but my love for you made it funny. I liked your sandals and you insisted on giving them to me. I still wear them every summer. Your leaving made a Fern-sized hole in the world. I will miss you.

I am shocked and so sorry to hear Fern has left this world! I was just telling my friends the story of meeting her at the Red Fort in Delhi, when we had cobras adorning our heads.... This was not by choice. She worked for Continental reservations, and I worked United reservations. Sending Udi and family strength and hugs. Although, we barely new each other, I'd always considered Fern a good friend.
