"I'm Free"
Don't grieve for me for now I'm free. I'm following the path God laid for me. I took his hand when I heard him call. I turned my back and left it all. I could not stay another day, To laugh, to love, to work, or play. Tasks left undone must stay that way, I've found that peace at the close of day. If my parting has left a void, Then fill it with remembered joy. A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss, Oh yes, these things I too will miss. Be not burdened with times of sorrow: I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow. My life's been full I've savored much, Good times, good friends, a loved one's touch. Perhaps my time seemed all too brief, Don't lengthen it now with undue grief. Lift up your heart and share with me, God wanted me now, He set me free.

Johnnie leaves to cherish his memories a loving wife, Katie Farrar of the home; one daughter, Sher Jones (Robert) of Pittsboro, NC; one son, Jerry Farrar (Ilem) of Sanford, NC; two sisters: Lillie Jones and Faye Leach (Raymond) both of Pittsboro, NC; five brothers: Walter Farrar (Mayhenry), Frank Farrar (Mary), Julius Farrar, Charlie Farrar (Lydia) and Jimmy Farrar (Euphelia) all of Pittsboro, NC; eight grandchildren: Joshua Farrar (Brandice) of Sanford, NC, Lashuan Jones (Alicia) of Siler City, NC, Jerdewarrene Farrar and little Robert of Durham, NC, Amelia Farrar (Chavez) of Durham, NC, Teshia Matthews (Marcus), Kesiha Jones of Pittsboro, NC, Maya Farrar and Jaron Farrar of Sanford, NC; six great grandchildren and a host of nieces, nephews other relatives and friends.
He Only Takes the Best God saw that you were getting tired, A cure was not to be. So He put His arms around you and whispered, "Come with Me." With tearful eyes, we watched you suffer, And saw you fade away. Although we loved you dearly, We could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, Hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes " the best".
