May the wonderful memories that you have shared with him, remind you of how much he loved you all, and how important family was to him.

Annie, Freddie, Josie, & Trish -

Please accept our heartfelt condolences in the passing of your loved one. Fred was a kind, humble, and generous man. His smile, laughter, and great voice will be missed. I remember how he would fill the church with enthusiasm as he joined the choir in song...he was sure to get the momentum going. He may not be singing during mass at San Isidro, but I am certain that he'll be singing with the angels in heaven.

Our prayers are with you. Si Yu'os en fan binendisi.

Dear Nina and family,

I am so sorry to hear about my Nino's passing. It's been a long time since I left the island and I wish I could be there. Please know that I'm with you in spirit. I always remember my parents calling Nino "Mahalo." He just had that kind and warm personality. It's no wonder why they called him that. I know my parents thought very highly of him. Nino will be deeply missed, but his spirit will live on in the hearts of those who love him. I love you!

Dear Nina, Freddie Jr, Trisha and Josephine,

Sorry we couldn't be there. It's been a while since we seen each other and I wish my son could have met my Nino. I hope his Godparents are as good to him as you both are to me. Please give my condolences to the rest of the family. We love you and hope to see you soon.

Prima Annie, Freddie, Josephine, Trisha and family, we are saddened by the sudden loss of your beloved "Fred". He will be dearly missed by our family. However, he will always be remembered for his kindness, his beautiful singing and most of all his respect for many. He never failed to display a warm and sincere regard for anyone. Even when he was under the weather we appreciate the "happy birthday" song to our ailing father that was special to him. For all these good things he will be missed and loved always in our memories of him. We pray for God's continuous watch over you and the family and ask our dear Lord to embrace Fred in his new life within the kingdom of heaven and rest in peace. Our love always.

Thelma Ann & Chris and children.

Auntie Annie, Uncle Freddie, Auntie Josephine, Uncle Mike, Auntie Trisha and Uncle George, I am so sorry for the loss of Uncle Eddie. I still can't believe he's gone. He was always so good to me, and i'm really going to miss him.
I read what my Grandpa wrote in his entry and it made me tear, because it reminded me of the weekends when we would do our yardwork and Uncle Eddie would be doing his at the same time.
He would always give me and Tibu Pepsi when he finishes before us. He also used to greet me every morning as I was walking to the bus stop and he would be wiping down his truck..

I wish I was there to help your family just as he was there for me. I love you all.

Rest in peace Uncle Eddie, I love you.

Ning & Family,
My deepest sympathy & condolences for the passing of my brother, neighbor & shipmate. How can I ever forget him when looking down from my pourch toward the back side of your house seeing him do his routine chores. If he sees me, he'll never miss to call or wave to me & say KU'NIAO!
Now that my brother is gone forever to the kingdom of heaven, how can i ever accept the emptiness & lonliness in Malojloj if I ever decided to return to Guam.
I am so sorry that I can't be there for my brother, but my wife Jannie (his twin sister) & my daughters are there to give you all the moral support for me.
Karen, Phyllis & John here in the states send their love & condolences too.
I salute my U.S Navy Shipmate & his Guardian Angels during his passing to enter the gate of heaven.
Love you all!

Trisha, my deepest condolences on the loss of your Dad. I got to know him before his retirement from the court and he was a very humble person. I'm off-island right now so please know you and your family are in my prayers.

Mrs. Taitague, Fred, sis Josie, Trish and families,
I am so deeply sorry for the loss of your dad and husband. It's been so many years since I saw him last but I will always remember his smile, his laugh, his humor, and his great hair! Especially through our Senior Year and years afterwards, he was like another dad always advising us and keeping us in line. My heart breaks that he has left his loved ones much too soon even though I know he is now at peace with our Creator. I wish there was something I could do or say to ease your heartache.
All my love and prayers.
