My Condolences to the entire Ferry family. I have so many wonderful memories because of Mrs. Ferry. Every visit to the farm was an adventure. I will always remember "Magoos Follies", and "The Movie''.
Love,

I only new Mrs. Ferry for a short time but each time i was with her she taught me something new, wether it be a new type of bird or how to cook something for the first time . She was a wonderful ladie and always had a smile on her face when i came into the house, she will be truly missed and i will think of her often as i use the knowledge she taught me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the family .
