The Ferguson family expresses its sympathies to all members of the Briguglio family. Mrs. Briguglio was the matriarch of a wonderful family! She and Carmine always had a warm welcome for all invited into their home. She was a wonderful cook! She adored her husband and loved her children and grandchildren very much! May God Bless Her and Carmine! May they enjoy eternal life. Kevin
