Uncle Fred, we love you and will miss you. Mike especially will miss his golfing buddy, helping on projects at the house in Oakfield and just sitting and visiting or going on a day trip somewhere.

Phyllis & Family, I just wish I could put into words what my heart is feeling but I can't. I love all of you so much and my thoughts and prayers are with you all. We are all going to miss Fred so very much. I don't have many childhood (or adult) memories that don't include you all. I am sure Mommy met Fred at the pearly gates (and began immediately to boss him around, after all, she was there first :-) and she will take good care of him. Love to all of you! Doreen Lambing

When you lose someone it can be hard to take
The pain you feel when your heart has to break
The memories you keep in your mind
As you search your sole for more to find
They way their skin felt, the smell of their hair
As you keep thinking over shedding a tear
Unconditional love is never forgotten
Look deep into your heart it is there at the bottom
Alone in the dark ,sometimes in fear
Voice from the loved one, your happy to hear
More years pass, as they soon fly by
But your always looked upon from those in the sky
Surrounded by clouds and pure white dove
They listen and watch sending their love
Just remember one thing as you sit and pray.
They will be there to greet you someday
My love to you all
