Chris and Carolyn,

I'm so sorry to hear about your father, I just found out today. I never met your father, Chris, but if you are anything like him, he was a great guy. One thing no one can ever take away from you are your memories of him. Hopefully it will help you in knowing that he is now in a better place. You will be in our thoughts.

Dear Fredette Fanily, I was so stunned to hear about Dr. Fredette's retiring because of the way he treated me over 5 yrs. concerning a medical problem that no other Oral Surgen would even consider treating me. He would go "over and beyond" the standard of care and only charged me a min. office visit fee. I loved this man and now I'll never have a chance to tell him how much he improved the quality of my life. The Man was a genius with a heart big as all out doors. Now he's gone, but there is no doubt in my mind He's in Heaven doing God's work. I want the family to know I'll be Praying for him and you during this most difficult time. Billy Forbes

Dear Fredette family,

The interesting thing about life is that it is but a temporary stop on a great adventure. to say anything less is to not recognize the grand plan. our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of need, and take comfort that your son, brother, husband, and father is now in a better place. - the Strum family.
