John H. FARRELL

In Memory of my Husband,
He was and is the love of my life. We met 32 years ago. As a little girl I always prayed to God that I would marry, as all young girls do, for someone who was tall, dark and handsome. God granted my prayer on August 11, 1979. John gave me a Cinderella Wedding and I felt like a princess. He gave me three beautiful children and 6+ grandchildren who are the love of my life. My heart is so empty without his voice to fill my ears with all of his stories. He...

I know it's a few months after the fact, but I just heard of John's passing from a mutual acquaintance and felt I had to leave a message. I worked with John on a few building projects thru the Dept. of Senior Services. Though things did not always go smoothly and there were many kinks to iron out in the final product, John always greeted me with a handshake, a smile and a "Hello my Friend". I'm glad so many have such great memories of him and they have their faith to pull them through, for...

It's so hard to believe that it has already been a month since Uncle John went home to be with our Lord. I knew that it was going to be difficult, but I didn't realize how much.

I will treasure the many memories including the childhood memories of going to Darien Lake year after year when everyone had to save up to go....going on the "big" swings first thing after we found the perfect spot...

Dear, "Uncle John",

I can't begin to say how much we miss you already. You were an absolutely wonderful man who always knew how to make everyone around you smile. My dad misses you so much, even though he might not admit just how much he is hurting. He knows that you're happy, but that does not take away the fact that he lost his best friend. As a kid when I would go to hockey games with him, he always used to tell me how you two would stick up for each other during the entire...

Dad,
This is very unorganized, thoughts keep flowing in. Today is one of the hardest days for me. I sit here trying to find the right words, and I know there are none. It's election day and my birthday. Normally you would be home from work, and I would have been able to spend my whole day with you. It would have started out with a big hug, a kiss, and a happy birthday princess. You were the best father a girl could ask for. Every thing you stood for I hope I can live up to the bar you...
