Sis. Farmer will be missed.
I knew Ms. Farmer through the community and we would run into one another through different community activities. I loved her smile and her personality and she always had a kind word. Prayers for her and her family.

April and Family, Our heart, thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. May GOD wrap his loving and comforting arm around you all to bring you some peace. Mrs. Farmer was so well loved. We have so many fond memories with her full of laughter, advice, encouraging words and sometimes real words. She was always 100% and that’s why we loved her. May the love you know she had for you and your family and memories brings you joy and comfort.
To the family of Elizabeth Farmer, this was a beautiful soul inside and out. I was a smile and kind word about the Lord. I will never forget her. When you heart and mind are felling low, think of the fondest memories and Jesus will lift your spirits.
To April and the family:
I’m sorry it’s taken me so long to give my condolences to the family. It has been a long time since I’ve seen you all.
I’ve kept you all in my thoughts and prayers over this time of mourning.
