My sweet Freddy Bear, you are bigger than life itself. Just being near you brings joy, laughter and broadens life. Without you, life will be a shadow. Make everyone in Heaven sit up and listen and laugh, and keep it happy until I can be there with you. You gave me back my youth. It was so, so sweet to be loved. Yes, Sweety, as you asked, I'm remembering that I'm your girl - and I will never forget it. I'll never let go of that "pin". Don't you forget it either. I miss you un-bear-ably. But you know that. Forever your FBE.
