The Farmer Family,
It sadden me to learn of your James' passing.

We go back many years as good friends, as children growing up together. The fun memory I still have of fishing on the Mississippi bridge and all the fish we caught.Our families always connected to each other to ensure we were in church. Most of all, the singing group we formed back in the day as we travel to the small churches in the community
that brought joy to our hearts.

I will miss you laughing which made me do the same. We will meet again friend.
May the Peace of Christ be with your family during this difficult time.

Your Friend,
Alonzo Doanes ( Bubby)
