Dear Fred & Family, There is no Death. Life is full of mysteries until the God of Love opens the portals of his kingdom and bids each passing soul a glorious welcome into its Eternal Home. Nothing can take away the love that hearts hold dear. Fond memories linger and remembrances keep you near. Heavenly Father give the family peace and understanding. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
