HI Steve and Freddy:

I do remember your parents so well and am sorry to hear of this.

I especially recall the home-made ice cream your mom made for us, and my father would bring you fish he'd caught in the lake! Good times!

We lived right behind you on Grandin Road. Many blessings to you and your family.

Freddy : I regretted to hear the loss of both your mother and father in such a short time. I haven't seen you since we attended Patrick Henry in the 1960s. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this time.

Freddy and Steve,

My thoughts and priors are with you. Betty was more than just a sister-in-law, but a good friend who I will miss dearly.

God Bless,

Dear Boys,
I am so very sorry about your Mom and your Dad too. Life isn't always fair but I did want you to know that I'm thinking and praying for both of them...and you too.
