I will always be Blessed knowing Homer who inspired me with his singing and letting his life shine for God. He walked in faith with God and Blessed all of us at Wylie Opry and Churches i.e. Whiterock Baptist Church in Anna. It did not matter if he had a large group or small group, He still gave his all. Now Heaven is Blessed as he joins God's Choir and now sees the one he was singing about! We are selfish and hate to see our friends go, and We celebrate his journey home were we all long to be. Deepest Sympathies to all the family until we get to take the journey too.
Twice Blessed

Homer Sr. You have been a shining light while with us here on earth, a fine example how a Child of God should live. You leave behind a legacy that will continue through your wife, sons, daughters-in-law, grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins and even those lives youve crossed paths with through your ministry of song and your everyday living. To the family- cherish these memories. In my opinion, grief is a process that never really goes away. It grows and changes. It can be like your angel still trying to show you the way. Moments may flood you at times with tears of sadness as well as tears of joy. Use your experiences as it may be a little nudge to guide you to someone else in need of a Christian example like he was. Ive already witnessed many acts of kindness from several members in your family. He has taught you well and just needs you to continue with a light of the world that shines so bright. Although miles away, know that I am with you all in thought and prayers. Love you all My Belcher Family! June Story
