Not sure what to say?

I was very sad to read that Dr. Paul Farmer had passed away recently. I was in high school with his sister, Katy, but at that time I wasn't aware she had a brother. I was certainly impressed to see all of his accomplishments! Rest in peace, Dr. Farmer....

What to say? A global powerhouse , great intellect and unbelievable person ,lost too soon.

Truly sorry for your loss.. His humanitarian work and the lives he affected lives on. May your heavenly Father comfort the family at this time.

To Didi, your precious children and all of Paul’s familyGod bless you during this shocking, incredibly sad and beyond most difficult time. Growing up with your sweet Paul, we always knew he was destined for greatness, but he clearly, far exceeded our expectations. What a gift he was to so many, always pushing forward and fighting for all he believed in. All that he accomplished in his lifetime, gave life to so many others. He was an incredible human being. Please know we’re lifting you up...

Dr. Farmer, Polo, left us too soon. We did our Pediatric rotation together and Dr Farmer as a medical student would be the last one to leave for the day. His dedication and compassion were infinite and announced his great accomplishments. We are grateful for all his work and particularly for his dedication and great contributions to healthcare in Haiti.

Our deepest condolences to his family, friends and colleagues.

Dearest Didi, Catherine, Elizabeth and Sebastian, I am heartbroken at the news of your loss. I cannot know the shock and pain you are suffering right now. I’m here if you need anything +1-970-300-3305. Thank you for sharing your husband and father with us, with the World. His humanity changed my life and the course of my life’s work. His advocacy will forever fuel mine. From my heart to yours, Krista

My prayerful support to his family. What a loss to his family, his friends, his patients, Haiti, South Africa, the poor of the world. Our country, the USA, needs to learn from him about health care service. I read Mountains Beyond Mountains many years ago and was completely inspired by his vision, commitment, and effort. Paul Farmer lived the Gospel message of Matthew 25: When I was hungryand the call of Vatican II to empower the laity to live the Gospel. Paul Farmer, Presente!

Condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Dr. Paul farmer. May the God of all comfort heal your broken hearts at the very difficult time.
