Not sure what to say?

I loved Dr. Ferdinand & Maxine! She was my moms baby doctor, when I was born. My mom said Dr. Ferdinand saved my life when I turned blue in the hospital, she grabbed me giving me mouth to mouth running with me down the hallway. Years later when I was 20 years old I was blessed to have her as our newborn son´s baby doctor. Dr. Ferdinand & Maxine helped me immensely as a new mom. I am so grateful & privileged to have known her.

Dr Ferdinard was my Dr as a child and she was my children's dr, If it wouldnt have been for her I would have never made it through my oldest son with CO. she is such a great person and dr

Jed, I was so saddened to learn of your Moms passing. A friend told me last week , We winter in Florida & didn't return until first of May. I'm Charlynn Stonebock Allen, our parents were dear friends, do you remember our family times together? My brothers name was Tom. I remember you so well as a young boy. Plus your parents lived down the street from my aunt Jo Idle, we played in the rain puddles together!!! Anyway I had to touch base with you & express my sympathy. Of course she was...

Dr. Ferdinand was my Doctor and my children's Doctor, she was one of a kind, A great Doctor of her Era!

To know Dr. Ferdinand was to love her, she was the best. She was so kind, but not afraid to tell you if you were doing something wrong, think we had all been there at one time or another. Even when our children were grown and you would run into her, she always asked about the family.

My name is Connie Abraham and Dr Ferdinand took care of all four of us for years starting in 1955. Mom and Dad had 4 babies in 3 years and Dr Ferdinand got us through all the childhood illnesses successfully. I do believe she saved my Mom's sanity sometimes, too. Dr Ferdinand and Maxine were a wonderful team. They broke the mold after that! Thank you for the stern kindness and the love. The Children of Phil and Gladys Abraham

I would like to thank Dr. Ferdinand for allowing all of Jed's friends to hang out at the house and enjoy playing in the woods and shooting the BB guns. We had so much fun playing in the neighborhood. Alice also let Jed be in my first rock n roll band and let us play our songs in her and Howie's basement. She was a great mom to all of us and one of those people you meet in life you'll never forget. Sorry I can't make it to the visitation due to being out of town but I wanted to let the family...

She was a former neighbor and my daughter, Erica's, pediatrician. When Alice would walk by our home, Erica would sometimes have her check her throat and ears. Alice didn't mind. It was a cute scene.

The world lost the best doctor that ever lived,in 1964 when I had my first daughter,she came into the room,so cute with her glasses so far down, I thought she was the mail carrier. Being short of 20 years old I was very nervous,she got me through 3 kids and all my challenges. She always had time for you and if she didn't return your calls herself,Maxine would call. What great memories we all have of her,you have our sympathy, she was truly one of a kind
