To: Freeman Family

Know that my prayers are indeed with each of you during your demise. Deacon has always been a great inspiration to me and my family (Walton/Bates). We not only have enjoyed him as a neighbor and deacon with the church family; but we thank you for allowing us to have established such a brotherly bond with not only Deacon; but the Freeman family. Remember, 2 Corinthians 5:8... "We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord- (KJV)".

Keep in mind that when someone you love becomes a memory, the memory will become your treasure.

Sis. Alice, Craig, Zan, Sharon, and Carol always remember that GOD is able to bring you through it. Hold On!!!!! God Bless You!

May God strengthen the family during this time of bereavement & may God give clear understanding of his will in each of your life. An earthly loss is a spiritual gain & although there's never words that truly comfort at this time, God will comfort in due time. Be blessed family & embrace the memories, endulge in the laughter, share his stories with your children, continue his legacy & most importantly complete his journey to Heaven. God's grace will never take you where he won't protect you. God bless you & keep you is my forever prayer. I love you dearly.
