Tim, Michael, and Sarah,



You have been in my thoughts and prayers. I am so glad I was able to see you guys with your mom in the parking lot of the animal hospital. When I think of your mom, I think of her warm smile and pleasant personality. How fortunate for those of us who were able to know her. I continue to keep you in my thoughts and prayers.



Love,

Mrs. Ferguson
