Mrs. Farra, I will surely miss Mr. Farra Sherry told me today that he passed. I will miss his smile and his jokes, I am so glad I gave him a hug when I told you both that I was going to be working from home, not realizing that would be the last time I saw him. Praying for God to comfort you and your family during this difficult time. Rest with Jesus Mr. Farra you were one of my favorite patients.

Rest in peace, dear Larry. We will miss your stories, your jokes, and your happy laughter. You've been a wonderful customer and more importantly a dear friend. Ruth and family, may God bring you comfort at this sad time and soon, may the good happy memories, replace the unhappy ones. Larry was " one of a kind" Gods home has certainly become full of laughter and light with the addition of Larry into it's heavenly family. Peace be with you. Connie and Karl Troupe
