Not sure what to say?

We had some fun times at Kingslanding Kampground, miss you and those memories.

It's been a long time since I have seen everyone but I wanted you all to know how saddened I am to hear of Fred's passing. What was said about his personality and sense of humor is what I remember most. He always made you feel welcome no matter where or what the circumstances were. His beautiful and joyful smile lit up a room. I know if David was still alive, he would also be sad for the loss of such a wonderful man. My prayers are with you during this difficult time.

My prayers and thoughts are with your family and all the Miller Lake crew
