Georgia,
I wanted you to know that my prayers and sympathy are with you during this difficult time. It was 34 yrs. ago this past January when we moved into the ‘milkman’s house’ across the road from you and Ferrell. I will never forget how good the two of you were to us. Ferrell was a fine Christian man, and I know he will be missed by many people. I will continue to remember you in prayer in the days ahead. God bless you.
Love,
Linda A. Scroggs

Dear Family,
We lived in the house across the road from Ferrell when I was about 5 or 6 years old. The happiest memories I can recall are walking over to the farm and seeing the cows. On the way, crossing the bridge and looking down into Cane Creek was fascinating. Ferrell was a nice man to my family. I’m 55 now and still think about this place and time. I am so very thankful to have lived there even though it was so brief.
