Dear Mark, Elwyn, Janet and Family,
Our deepest sorrow on losing Mrs. Ferris. We had great times growing up on the "greenie" and after all these years, it always makes me smile to think back. She loved to talk about the old neighborhood. She is going to be sadly missed. All our love.

The Ferris Family:

We are so very sorry about Florence's passing. We so much enjoyed her in our short friendship. Back in January we were hoping that all would be well with both our Mom's and they could see each other and remain pals.

Hopefully God is taking as good care of Florence and Dorothy as we all did.

Our prayers and thoughts are with all of you!

Love,

Kristen MacLean
