I always enjoyed spending time with the Ferguson family, from boyhood through my teenage years and beyond. Their home was always warm and welcoming. Both Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson were kind and loving people who had a great influence on me.

My Beautiful Mother, Marilyn A Ferguson passed away Monday, May 15th. 2017. She lived a wonderful, long life. all the way to 92 years old, and was beloved to so many people who's lives she touched. One of the most kind, loving, thoughtful, compassionate people I've ever known. Thank you for the gift of life, of being your son, your friend, and for all the years we got to spend together. Words cannot express how much I miss you, how much we all miss you......... This photograph was one of my favorites of you, we spent the day on Whidbey Island and while driving thru Langley, she said "Wow, look how big that Sunflower is !", so I stopped and took her picture while she hammed it up a bit. A Beautiful memory indeed, like a shooting star, you shined so bright and filled the world with your love & light......

Nana had such kind eyes. When she talked to me I could feel her love even if she had to get on to me for running in the house or eating too fast ;) She was always interested in the arts and each time we talked she would ask what in was working on. Im always looked forward to our road trips coming to visit and receiving such great love from both Nana & Grandpa. Ill never forget the lesson to "not beat around the bush" when we all got stung by bees when we were playing & hitting the bushes outside Nana's house :o She was prepared though and we got all doctored up. Love you Nana...
