To the family of Kerry, I was so saddened to hear of your mothers passing. We had recently reconnected and used to hang out together when we were young, being cousins. My dad Merv was Ron’s brother. Kerry’s stepfather.
Your mother was a beautiful lady. I am so sorry for your loss. My brother David Ferris will be attending the funeral on Wednesday to pay respects. Xox
I am so very sorry to hear of Kerry’s passing. We had become friends this past 9 months with her interest in learning the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She is truly an amazing and beautiful woman and will be greatly missed by all. She dearly loved her children and grandchildren and loved sharing stories of them on our visits. We send love and prayers to your family.
