A Pawsitive Experience

10/16/2024

Many thanks to all who joined us at Chestnut Ridge to celebrate the life of Susan Ferry. It turned out to be a truly beautiful day with many incredible, generous, loving and kind people in attendance--along with their well-behaved (mostly! 😅), 4-legged family members. We laughed and cried as folks shared their fondest memories of Susan; each of us taking away a deeper understanding of a talented, creative, intelligent, giving and thoughtful woman we called friend, sister, neighbor... We closed the event with a casual dog walk, a bit of networking, some new friends and big bear hugs. We're sure Susan was smiling over the festivities.
