Freddie, Wallace, and myself probably hunted together for almost 20 years in Southside. I missed them dearly when I moved to Georgia 10 years ago. Freddie, Phyllis, Brian and family are in my prayers at this time. May the spirit of the Lord give you comfort in your time of grief. I wish I had dropped in on Freddie on one my occasional visits to Elizabeth City but, it always seems there's never enough time when we go back there to get around to see everybody. This Deer season when I'm sitting in the woods I'll be thinking of Freddie.

We are so sorry for our loss, we feel so bad for you and our family. Freddie was beloved among all of us. Words can not express the wonderful memories we have of him. He was a wonderful husband, father and grandfather. We know God saved him a special armchair up there, we all know how that was "HIS" chair...and I am sure he will make his new armchair his own too.

We love Freddie, and we love you all dearly too. Please let us know if we can do anything to make this time easier for you.

Much Love,

Val and Ash
