To all of Mr. Furrows family, I got to know him when mama was put in Trinity Mission he was a very likeable man you couldn't help but like him we would laugh and joke. My grandchildren though a lot of him too. I know you will all miss him. When I walked my his room today it didn't look the same without him in it. You are all in my prayers.

To all the family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss.
I remember coming to visit your mom and dad on Sundays when I was a little girl. Coming to visit was one of the most fun things a little girl could do. Walking to the house seemed like an adventure to me and riding Sugar Baby was always something that I looked forward to.

My daughter and I visited Trinity Mission during the holidays last year and had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Furrow. He waved us into his room where you could immediately tell that he cared a lot for his family. He had pictures everywhere and all kinds of knick knacks. He told us about his family and his days farming. In fact, he was wearing bib overalls - he just looked like a farmer.
I'm sure he is resting in peace. May you find comfort in your memories.
