Mrs. Ferrance always had a wonderful smile and word of encouragement for those of us who were lucky enough to know her from our youth at Mt. Carmel. Lee and Scott were the most fortunate to have her as their mother. My heart goes out to the entire family for your tremendous loss! May She rest in peace!
