From the very first time I met you I could see your heart and you made me feel alive again. You put me to work and gave me hope from words you spoke in my presence that caused me to know
that Jesus is Lord. I will miss you greatly but will see you when I get home. I plead the Blood of Jesus upon all the family and send a special thanks with much Love to Melanie Farmer for making it possible for me to meet you. I will treasure it and remember it within my heart.

Mama, We love you and miss you tremendously. Our hearts are heavy with grief because you are not here with us but we know that you are in the best place possible. You left us so much and for that we are grateful that you were here and are here with us in our hearts. May you rest in peace in the sweet, loving arms of Jesus.

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.

October 22, 2009

On October 17, 2009, the death angel came and lifted the bright spirit of Florence Farmer away to a land free free from sickness, sorrow, pain, and death.

Be thankful to God that the course of your dear loved one has ended unstained. Be thankful to God more, that your dear loved one was a Christian.

You be Christians also, that you may be able to join this loved one again.

I say to you, the family
Work and pray, tillJesus comes,
Help to gather in the grain.
With joy you'll meet this dear
one,
When Jesus comes again.


With my deepest heartfelt sympathy,
Deaconess Lewis
