Be Anxious For Nothing. This is the mind set that Gramma Fredi all but pounded into my head and I will keep it forever. Great words to live by. She was a phenomenal woman and my life will never be the same. Please keep my family in your prayers. Its a long rough road ahead trying to adjust to our lives without her.
