Harriett, Margie, Mary, James, Johnny and Family,
We want to express our deep sorrow for your loss and to let you know we are sharing the burden of this great grief.
We have known Mrs. Farrar for a very long time and shall always remember her. She was the kindest hearted person with such a radiant smile. She had an immeasurable love for everyone who came in contact with her. In fact, I shall always be thankful to God for such a loving person that he blessed us with. I feel that your loss is a loss to all the people who knew her. May God bless her soul and complete his wishes.
As we approach the holiday celebration, there will be an empty chair at the holiday table this year, but remember it will be filled with loving memories of Mrs. Farrar. May your special holiday memories help ease your grief this Christmas.
May God bless you with his love, comfort, hope, peace, inner strength and faith. We are lifting you up in our thoughts and prayers.
With love and sympathy,
