Yes. We do miss all the humor and caring words from Dad. Yet, the distinctive timbre and tenor of his voice and genuine thoughtfulness of his words linger with us.

May God be with him and his family in their sorrow. Mr. Ferguson was an example of a devoted husband of Winifred and could be seen in their presence. Thank you for this insight in our community at Lourdes. Kathy & Bill Talley

Dear Mrs. Ferguson & family, Seems so long ago as I remember Sundays at OLL church, when we were all in the "crying room" with our young children, as well as running into you two often at some store! I remember Mr. Ferguson being a kind, pleasant man always with a smile and something nice to say. I'll pray for you & your family to experience God's comfort & peace in the days to come. Treasure the memories of your loved one. Sincerely,
Veronica Gray Archer
