Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during your time of loss. I know that Dr. Ferrer touched the heart of my mother (Mrs. Hamilton) and my son Bryce. She was a wonderful educator and took wonderful care of her students.

Dear Angel and family:
Lois was a favorite of all of the Washington School Heads. She came to many events to celebrate my departure from the National Cathedral school and was a welcomed and revered presence at all of them. What an educator! Lois was at the top of the list. I send deepest sympathy and love to all from the Cathedral family and me.
