Carianne, Jim Bob, and family,
I am very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dad, You will be greatly missed but I know that you are in a better place with those that you love. We will be together at another time and I wanted to say that I have always loved you and I want to thank you for being my Dad. I Love You. Your Son
I was so saddened to hear of your loss. I’d like to express my deepest condolences to the Farris family. I know that this is a trying time. As I may have mentioned, both my parents passed away a couple of years ago. It was not an easy time for me and my family. But, good memories about them brought some comfort. May your memories with Calvin bring you comfort.
I enjoyed, and thank Calvin for being such a good neighbor. It was a pleasure to have had him as a neighbor. I enjoyed the conversations especially the ones about fixing the world! we had throughout the years. I also appreciated him watching out for my house, particularly when I went on vacation: I knew that I didn’t have to worry about my house.
Very sincerely,
Sosten
Thank you Calvin for welcoming me into your extended family with open arms. Love you and will miss you.
What a blessing Grandpa has been on our family. I am truly going to miss him. He always gave wise words and eager advice. I loved him for everything he was including his stubborness. : I know he is much happier now. He has Momma, Grandma, and Brian to catch up with in Heaven. I feel truly blessed that my family allowed me to take care of Grandpa in his last days on earth. It was truly a gift I will cherish forever. Love you very much Grandpa and I am still very proud of you!
