Out of my where-are-they-now curiosity I did an online search for my grade school buddy, Freddie Wray. How sad I was to learn of his illness and passing yet so proud of what he had accomplished in his life. Fred and I attended Catholic grade school and grew up together in Detroit. We share a love of hockey and both of us were goalies. Had not seen Fred since 1967, yet my memories of him are still strong de adds later. That is the kind of impact he had on others even at a young age. So proud...

Dear Krista,
Fred was a wonderful young man. I will never forget his zest for life, his energy, his sense of humor and his infectious laughter. I will surely miss him.
Krista, I pray the Lord will bring you and your children comfort and peace.

Krista,
I always wished I could have worked with Fred. We tried a couple of times to figure out how, but never quite made it work. He was a great guy and the world is better off for having had him in it. I know that everyone who knew him will agree. May you find comfort in your memories and the knowledge that he is at peace.

Dear Krista,
My sister told me about what happened to your husband and I wanted to share with you something you probably already understand.
Your husband is a spiritual being and he continues as we all will. I believe one's loss is often another's joy and happiness(death to birth again).
My love to you and your children. If you need anything we are available and ready to help.
Sincerely,
Sarah Page Wells.

Dear Krista,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I was Fred's assistant at Initiative prior to his last leave. Though we did not work together long, he always spoke about you and your children with an extra gleam in his eyes.
You are in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,

Dear Krista, Cameron and Hunter,
I am so sorry about your loss of a great husband and a wonderful father. I am sorry I did not get to know Fred better than I did. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Krista and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I am in total shock.
I worked at FCB for 15 years and forced to leave in 1992. Fred was always there for me. I still remember him standing behind me saying who loves ya. This is a great loss for everyone who new Fred.
