I have loved Fred and his dear wife and family since I was a teenager. Now in my 80's, I am fighting a bout of Sciatica and leg problems and could not get to the viewing nor the funeral, which broke my heart.
I have so many wonderful memories of the early Church days in St. Louis, and my first church calling was teaching Susan in a primary class of 3 yr. olds. Having no church family, the Farmers always loved and cared for me, and then with his children, I have spent so many years in...

Fred was like a father to me. He has been loved and respected by many. He always joked with the family reminding us that he wanted to be the one to prepare the body.

With much love and respect my dear friend, Temmie Jo (Ramsey) Bowers and Family.
