My heartfelt condolences to Family and Friends of Mr. Ferro. I got to know him, and Ms. Audrey, while I was working at Oakdale. Mr. Ferro was a real gentlemen and he was always very kind. I won't forget his kindness and his beautiful smile as long as I live. He will be dearly missed.

I cannot believe that, with all my procrastinating to try and find the right words, I am still the first to sign this sweet man's guest book. For the 15 years I've been working in Mission Valley, I have seen Peter, always smiling, bearing written jokes and gorgeous fruit as gifts. Audrey, you seemed to be a large part of that smile and a loving, loyal partner to the end. Now I hold you tight in my prayers to comfort you in your loss. Much love from Suzie at Valley Kitchen. Please keep in touch.
