Cassandra, I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I remember "Mr. Fred" being the most dependable cab driver in Franklin. He was always smiling, helpful, and didn't mind coming to our house way up in the country to pick up my sister Mary for work. My prayers go out to you and your family during this most difficult time.
