Frank Ottofaro Jr.
December 3, 2017
Mom-I wanted to leave you this Christmas message that as your only son, you were always there for us when we needed you the most without judgment, and with your undying love. After dad passed in March 2012, I wanted to make sure that we had our Sundays together having lunch, talking about things, or just riding around in the car. It was my special time to spend with you, and it sure did help me to take both of our minds off of dad not being here anymore physically. I think in the back of my mind that I always knew when you had gotten sick, that it would take you away from us quickly, and it was very difficult for all of us to watch you the last two weeks slowly leaving us. It is one of the hardest things to watch, and the feeling of not being able to help you hurt the most. I love you always, you raised us well, and no one could have had a better and caring mother than we all did as your children. Keep dad straight up there, and I will look forward to all of us being reunited again one day. Merry Christmas mom....love and miss you very much. Frank Jr.

Teresa and Family:
Words are inadequate to express our profound sadness in the illness and passing of your beloved mother, wife, grandmother, and family matriarch, Dora Jean Ferguson Ottofaro.
We pray that God shall continue to give you the strength, courage and peace during the difficult days ahead.
May you continue to hold fast to her precious memories and her gentle spirit that richly embraced and touched the lives of so many people...for she will always be in your heart.
Continue to hold fast to God's unchanging hands; the indelible mark and her life legacy she left for others to follow that shall forever be etched in the footprints of time.
Love and continuous blessings always,
Vic Williams
