For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16) May God's grace comfort you and remind of wonderful memories of Ferrell. I am so grateful for his warm, cheerful, infectious smile, his kindness and his strength that filled every room he entered. Ferrell was and is an important part of the foundation of our St Clotilde community and of our City. We send our love and prayers to the entire Daste and Gregoire families. May God bless you and comfort you today and always,Rory and Eva and the entire Lawrence and Virgie Smith family.
