Posted at 16:47h, 24 NovemberTo the family and friends of Homer Clayton Farmer,
Please accept my condolences for the loss of your loved one, Mr.Farmer. These words from the scriptures helped me when I experienced the death of a loved one: “And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4) This promise from God assures us all of a future time when we no longer will experience pain from the death of a loved one. Please accept my sincere sympathy.
