    Thinking of you sweet Farr family & praying for you all! Your family has touched so many & left many footprints! I know all of us from the NKCA family treasure the time your family was part of ours! Even as that cute tan 2 year old used to run around like Stephanie & Derek, he show warrior spirit & strength beyond his years then! May the Lord be near to you all in this journey until we all see Heaven & those we LOVE on that glorious day!
