Ferguson family,
Elwood was a very special person in our son, Brian Verble's life. I know that he was a symbol of love and grace and that Brian's friendship with Lance was nothing but enhanced by the times he spent with Elwood and Doris. Thanks so much for allowing us to offer you our sympathy during your grief. We mourn with you and will pray for you as you remember the wonderful gifts Elwood gave to the world. We are just thankful to have been blessed by his presence.
