Mrs. Freeman, Gil, Tommy and family I want you to know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all. Mr. Freeman's retirement opened many doors for my career. I know you all will miss him. He was a good man, father and husband. He was also a good influence on me in my early years of service to the State government. I know he will be missed by you all, but we all know he is where he worked so hard to be and that is with our Lord and savior. I am so sorry I missed his service but I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Jenny, Gil, Tommy and family,
I am so sorry we did not know about the passing of Jule. We would have been there for the services. There are no words to say how sad we are for you and your family. Our prayers go out to you and it was a pleasure and blessing having seen you guys in August. I know only time heals the void in our hearts.
Love,
Kathy & Stan Ham

Ginny, Gil, Tom, and family,
Your dad was such an inspiration to me this last year. My dad, Fay Hammond passed away 3/26/2010. Your dad's visits and meals he brought in cheered my dad so much. Jule and my dad worked together at the highway department. My dad thought so much of Jule, and so do I. I understand what you are going through. My prayers are with you. I understand how hard this is. I live in Waynesboro, VA but I'm in Columbia once a month. May God wrap His arms around you and give you peace.

I am sorry to hear of Mr. Freeman's passing. He was such a pleasant
person. I worked with Mr. Freeman at the Highway Department for
many years and also with you, Mrs. Virginia, in the DMV.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and the boys.

I am very sad to hear of Mr. Freeman passing. Mr. Freeman hired me at DHPT and I have always had the upmost confidence in him. He was a honest person and a great person to work for. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mrs. Freeman, Gil and Tommy, my sincere condolences to you and the rest of your families on the passing of Mr. Freeman. I was fortunate enough to have known him in my growing up years but just as blessed to have met him years later and have him recognize me. He was a good man as well as a wonderful husband and father, I'm sure. God be with you all in this time of mourning.
