Mi mas sentido pesame para la familia Duran. La perdida de un ser querido es muy doloroso. Pero Dios nos ha prometido que muy pronto resucitará a todos los que han muerto. (Isaias 25:8). Espero hallen consuelo en esta promesa. (Revelación [Apocalipsis] 21: 4, 5).

I was so very sorry to hear of Freddie's passing.
He was a really good friend in high school, with a wonderful sense of humor. I will always remember his kindness in attending my brother Derake's service in March.
Sincere, heart felt sympathy to all his family.

My condolences go out to your family and friends. Although we never met, I got confused with you throughout my life, including one time when I was in the hospital back in '76, having my appendix removed and your mom called my room thinking it was you. Cross over in peace, Tocayo.
