Thank you all for your kind words. My dad was a great man. Every day now I think of him in the highest regard. He was so giving, kind, strong, and funny. When Jody & I were little dad would grab our knee (catching us off guard)and say "You gotta bone in the leg?" We'd jump every time! He did it with his grandchildren too.They brought it up the other day. One other memory Tori wanted me to share was when she was real young she asked poppa why the sky was blue and how the clouds got up there. He told her he'd climb the highest trees and paint them for us. She believed it for quite a while. When it had rained for a week straight Tori came to me and said "I'll be glad when poppa runs out of his gray crayon. He's not painting pretty clouds lately." She had an extra set of crayons she wanted to send him. When I told him about it later he said "How do you KNOW I'm not up there painting them?" He was so fun and funny. I have 4 kids and when poppa & nanny visited they must have thought he was tree because they'd climb all over him, wrestling for what seemed like hours. And even if it was past the annoying stage he never let them know. I told him I'd make them stop and he said "Oh they'll wear out eventually. Maybe they'll sleep good for you tonight." What a gift! He was a treasure to us all and I know he's in heaven waiting for his family to come home. We'll be there as soon as we get the call, but don't go finding how many have "bones in their legs" they may think it a lil odd. It was our "thing" thanks dad for always being there for all of us and leaving us with the best of memories, and bringing the family together. We will miss you every day but it's just another day closer to joining you. You are the strongest, smartest, kindest man I've ever known and I feel honored to have been able to call you dad. I love you with all my heart. Don't worry about mom, Jody and I will keep her company even when she wants to shoo us away! We were never good at giving yall peace and quiet. No sense in starting now. See you later. It's a promise.

To all the Adams -
We are all broken hearted over the loss of Farrell. We have been praying for him on a regular basis since he was first diagnosed. Now, our prayers will be for all whose lives are saddened by his loss.
May you feel God's loving embrace as you mourn. There is still much to celebrate, however, he is WITH God! We are sorry we cannot be with you during this time of sorrow.
Blessings to all of you!

Mabel and Family , May the sweet peace of Jesus and his ministering angels be with each of you, as you cling to each other and most of all the Lord for strength. The Lord loved Farrell best. He is Free from Pain; and Farrell has his complete Healing. We rejoice and know that the Father answered all of our prayers, but it was His way . We Bless the Name of the Lord.

Psalms 27:14 Jody I'm truly sorry for the loss of your father. My prayers are with you today. Earth has not sorrow that Heaven can not heal.
There's one who knows why you are sad,
There's one who cares for you;
Just look to Him, and trust in Him
And He will see you through
He knows your loss and sorrow,
He hears your prayer above;
Each day he freely gives you
The strength of His great love.
May GOD continue to be the source of your strength. Let the many sweet and precious memories of your father be of comfort to you in the days to come.
Love you.
