My prayers and heart goes out to Mickie and their Children. I worked with Homer and he got tired of some people in my group who would not answer his requests. He called me directly for help and said I know you will help me unlike the others because you get things done. Homer was a man of high Integrity and a warm and wonderful Man. My heart is broken for Mickie and her children. Praying for all the family and friends. He is a huge loss to this community and his Church. So heartbreaking.
