Farrell family, you have my sincerest condolences regarding George's passing from this life. The good news is he is with our Heavenly Father now and we will all be reunited again for eternity. I remember George fondly, he and my father (now with George) were good friends and ushered together at church. God bless and comfort you.

Bev and family, Words can't describe how sad I feel. I deeply love you and George and your wonderful family. I have many great memories (Word of Life, Scrabble, Games, raising our kids, family dinners) over the past 40 years that I have been friends with you. I knew as soon as I met you at church that we would be "friends for keeps". I appreciate your friendship through the years. - Jean Slothower - LOVE YOU AND YOUR FAMILY

I am so sorry to learn of the death of George - He was a wonderful person - friendly, kind and a true gentleman. I met the Farrell family at Calvary Baptist Church and lost touch when I stopped attending, but I think of them often and extend my sincerest sympathies at this very sad time - I know he will be missed very much by all who knew him. My thoughts and prayers so out to the family.
