Dear Doris and Family,
I am sad to hear of Homer's passing but celebrate the fact that he is with the Lord. His example of a husband, a father, and a Godly man, is only to be desired by us all. I will never forget the positive impact that he had on my life during my teen years. He truly lived his life as an example of Christ's Love and I am a better person today to have known him.

Doris & Family-I learned yesterday that Homer had passed away on Saturday--I kept thinking about you all evening and what a special sweet couple both of you were at Stewartsville School as childhood sweethearts. I also remember Homer's sweet smile at Norfolk Southern and in the community--Years ago he scrapped my driveway and when I gave him a check to pay him he tore it up--He said you don't charge a neighbor--I know your loss is tremendous and may God surround all of you with his comfort until you are reunited with your Christian husband,father and son again-Love-Rachel Dillon-Reedy
