Sherry and family,
To my couzin and great friend for all my live. We will remember all the great times at Houghton Lake since 1962, until the present. From letting Mark and I and our buddies "crash for the night" in the garage on our weekend outings in the 1960's until the present, as your Houghton Lake Neighbor, friend and family.
Linda and I could not have had a better friend. We will miss Roy.
Sherry our thoughts and prayers are with you. You have shown so much strength, but know that you are not alone, we will be there for you. We are only a call or few doors away.
With all our love, Larry and Linda Frey
