Lynn states the following
We are very sad to lose him but very relieved that he is no longer suffering. It has been a very emotional 2 weeks.

Roy was a tremendous husband, father and grandfather. He loved life more than anyone. He took very good care of John's mother for the last 10 to 15 years with her dwindling health issues. They had been married 67 years last year and had a wonderful marriage.

We want to again thank all of you for your prayers, calls and emails of support. It has certainly give John something positive and supportive during this last couple of weeks.

We wish all of you a very Happy and Safe 4th of July

We love you all,
Lynn Farrell

Sorry to hear of the passing of John's Father (Roy).
I know the family has had a rough 2 weeks, but knowing that Roy is in a better place now is surely
a relief to all. Prayers will continue. Larry & Jean

John,
I was so sorry to hear the news that your Dad had passed away. I know exactly how you feel having lost my Dad almost 14 years ago. Helen and I will hold you and your family up in prayer as you go through the difficult days ahead.

A sincere Thank You to all of you for your prayers, phone calls, cards and for keeping us in your thoughts. Dad's service was in a small church in Maryville, Missouri and I had them play Ron Elliott's; Peace in the Valley and John Hughey's; He Touched Me, C/D's before and after the service. Thanks to those two for such great and appropriate music.

Our daughter Alicia sang three songs [ pre-recorded ]

I could not thank Bobby Caldwell enough for introducing me to the steel guitar family who have become such great friends. I look forward to seeing all of you in St Louis, ISGC.

The Best to You,

John, Lynn and Family of Roy Farrell
