Dearest friends,
We are so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved Ferris. He was a great though quiet man, but he loved the Lord and is now enjoying his heavenly home. So sorry we could not come to the funeral but we don’t drive on freeways or out of town any more. We love you all in Formosa and will be praying for you in your loss.
So sorry for your loss. Garrett and I are praying for all of you.
We rejoice with you to know that Farris is now in a better place but sorry for us that we will miss him so much. He was a great man and will always think of him when we think of Formosa. Please know we are praying for you and look forward to all of us meeting up with him. We love you. Lavelle and Bob Rollins
We are so sorry for your loss, our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
“The span of one’s life is 70 or 80 if because of special mightiness”. (Psalms 90:10a) Mr. Bonds was blessed with that special mightiness. Still, life is too short since God has put eternity into our hearts. (Ecclesiastics 3:11) May family and friends of Mr. Bonds find comfort in the promise that God keeps all in his memory until the day when Jesus calls them to a resurrection of life on a peaceful new earth. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15, Psalm 37:11) My condolences to his wife and family.
So sorry for your loss. Love you Marla
