Uncle Fred,
May you now enjoy Heaven and meeting loved ones who have been waiting for you. I know Aunt Yvonne will be one of them along with your parents, Uncle David and Aunt Esther. What a reunion! Someday I will be there too so wait for me.....at the gate. I love you.

Fred, I'm really sorry to hear about your dad. I didn't know him well but i remember taking his classes school pictures at Maryville & it was obvious that he really cared for his students. I would always see he & your mom taking walks together all over Collinsville and after she passed i would still see him walking along the sidewalks. I miss seeing him. I'm sure he is now rejoicing in heaven with our savior. My prayers are with you and your family. Doug LaBrot (CHS Classmate).
