I was deeply saddened to hear that Brother Fred passed away. He was always a welcoming face for me as a child and an adult coming to church. He always had a smile on his face and seemed to make it his duty that people around him had one too. I will miss how he used to joke and make me laugh, that would always make me feel like he cared about me. Thank you for that Brother Fred. Glad to know you are resting now. To the Shropshire Family, may God's peace be with you, you are in the Williams Family's thoughts and prayers.

Brother Fred has called me "Little Jesus" since I was 13 years old I asked him why he always called me that and he said because your not a Little Devil and started laughing. He later told me when my Mother died that he knew I was a good person and he just never wanted me to forget. So to the family I'm very sorry for your loss and I will keep you in my prayer's. And thank you for sharing him with me he was a wonderful person an I feel blessed to have known him. I'm sad that he is gone but I'm happy he is with God because there isn't a better or safer place.
