I will sincerly miss Homer J. I remember when I was at his house and we were talking about how much I love Barack Obama. He showed me this beautiful framed picture of him in his den and preceeded to tell me that him and Michelle were here and gave the picture especially for him, I was so impressed and asked him "REALLY?", he said "YES" and then started to laugh, I sat there looking stupid and then he said "NO" hehehe! He is such a funny and lovable person. I know we are saddend that he has left this life but he has joined God and his other angels and I rest assured he is out of pain and loving the life. God bless you and your family, today and always! Love Jeneen
