Dear family of Alice Ferguson, It is so difficult to lose one's Mother. She was such a neat lady. I knew her when I lived in Pastime Trailer Park for a short time in 1956 and '57. My parents, Ilah and Charles Patton thought the world of her. They lived in the trailer park as well. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With love...Joann
