I wish I could be there in person to celebrate the life of one of the most loving, giving friends our family has ever had the pleasure to know. [You might recall that she and my Mom (Willie Ferris) worked together @ Sage Hall, and later @ Gannett Clinic, Cornell?]

As during the time surrounding her passing in August, I will certainly be keeping you all in my prayers, in anticipation of the B-I-G family reunion, one day, as you all know where you'll meet again. God chose another one if His finest, that August Day!

With love,
MaryLou Ferris
