Dear Betty and family. We will certainly miss Ferrell, his humor and now what do I do with the crackers? We always had fun with them, jokes about the Martini's!. He is now in a good place and you have so many friends , family and support. David and I will always be here for you just down the corridor. Love, Dorothy and David Patten.

I have known the Shanks family most of my adult life and forged a great friendship with Lynn. Ferrell and Betty gave me an opportunity with my first job out of college of which i yielded some very valuable skills that enabled me a solid core for good opportunities through out my career. A very loving and blessed family. My prayers and thoughts are with you all. Ferrell will be missed.
