Dear Robert and Karen,
I am so sorry to learn of your Father's passing. It is always hard to know what to say. He must have been very proud of you and all that you have accomplished in your life, your lovely family, your good work.
I hope he is at peace, and I hope you are at peace.
Take care. Pamela

I love you, dear brother, Mickey. Mama and Daddy were so proud of you. Louise and I thought of you as magical since we were so little. And we thank you and your Jolly Rogers for helping to keep all of us free. I'll miss you so much. Love, Jo Anne Freeman.

He was my father-in-law for several years. He is the grandfather of my two oldest children. Only geographical distance kept us from getting to know one another a little better over the years. He was a very kind gentleman. Wow! He accomplished a great deal in his lifetime. Retired from the Air Force and a retired teacher! I'm sure he touched many lives during his time with us. I knowhis family is proud and I am sure they thank God for having shared him with them.

I am sad to hear of the passing of "Mo" Freeman, a great gentleman and wonderful person. He took me in and gave me a home when I was a high school student and needed a place to live. He was truly generous, kind, and wise. He made me a part of his family, fed me, and gave me respite in a time of need without asking anything in return. I am eternally grateful. Rest in peace, Mo.
