Dearest Fred, Lois and Anna: What a terrible shock it was to see this in the paper today; I cannot even imagine the pain you are going through. Evan told a great story about Fred today. In kindergarten, he would say "I'd tip my hat to you, if I only had a hat". Fred, we tip our hat to you and may your family find comfort knowing that they now have an incredible guardian angel watching over them. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Steve, Marjie, Collyn and Evan Symmes.
