Fred W. Soldwedel

Every Sunday when I'm at Mass, & we pray for the souls who have passed away...I still say Fred's name silently to myself. He certainly was a "one of a kind". Sending hugs to Donna and his beautiful family

Thanks for the Memories, cousin! God's blessings for you, Donna and family, and, for you , Linda and your wonderful family. Think of you often, with love, Sue.

Still to this day, I mention Fred's name in my mind every Sunday at Mass when the priest asks us to "remember those who are no longer with us"...Fred is still remembered in my heart who had touched my life.

Remembering a year later:

Growing up in the F.H. Soldwedel family was indeed an experience for all of us, first cousins. However, love for the family was ever present and unconditional. Fred exemplified this strong love, even expanding on it. Memories of our loved ones and loving family members are second best to them being here on earth with us.

Fondly remembering "Fritz", his smile and his gentle nature.
Much love to Donna and family, Diane and Linda, Sue

Being his Queen of the 1987 Rose Court, I had many wonderful memories with Fred and his kindness. I remember the children in Japan looking up to Fred at his height and his big smile. They were in awe!

Warmest prayers and thoughts to all of his wonderful family and excellent friends whose lives were clearly enhanced by him in so many ways! We hope that your grief is small compared to the size of your hearts every time that you think of him.

Remember

Remember me when I am gone away,
Gone far away into the silent land;
When you can no more hold me by the hand,
Nor I half turn to go yet turning stay.
Remember me when no more day by day
You tell me of our future that you plann'd:
Only remember me; you understand
It will be late to counsel then or pray.
Yet if you should forget me for a while
And afterwards remember, do not grieve:
For if the darkness and corruption leave
A vestige of the...

Fred was not only a giant in stature, but also a man with a giant heart. He was our "Dad" figure for us girls on the 1975 Rose Court---we will always treasure those special years.
