John Simmons Farris Sr.

To my Father nothing can explain how I feel right now I will miss you untill the day that I die. It really doesn't feel real that you are gone but I know that you are gone to a better place! I pray to see you again. Thank You for showing me how to be a real man. I will love you always. Your son Michael Gamble aka* Michael Farris!!!

Papa John, (my special name for you) If you only knew how many smiles you put on my face each and every time I came to see you, we could talk about anything and you always made sure that I left with something positive. I thank God for My Godsisters Peaches & Jakki beacause without them I would have never had the chance to have you in my life. So until we meet again rest in peace.

My deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers go out to you during this time of bereavement. Remember tought times don't last always but tought people do. God can and will mend a broken heart if you give him permission too.

I Will See You Again


Too my Father and best Friend; noting or no one can describe the pain that I feel with your departure: but knowing that you kept your promise to me by fighting a good fight, while keeping good faith, allowed me to be strong. You were always there at my time of need and I will miss you dearly. I know God will give me the strength I need to accept this temporary separation until we meet again, in Heaven.


Love Always,
...

My Daddy, My Friend
If I had my life to do over, I'd have chosen you to be my daddy once more. Even if it meant losing you again, it's worth all the tears in the world. It hurts so much knowing I can’t ever hear you fuss at me for not calling you every day and especially not hearing your voice saying yearly at five a.m. “ Happy Birthday” Daddy you fought a long hard battle and now your in a better place, one day I know I will see your smiling face. You will always be with me as I carry...

To Sherwood Farris & Family: It is my prayer that you will look to our saviour Christ Jesus for comfort and strength at this time & may you lean and depend on him in all you do.
God Bless!

Gail and John Jr.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.
