Our prayers are with you now, as you go through this time of grief. May God comfort you and help you to remember the sweet things about your father. But most of all, may you remember his trust that he put in his Heavenly Father, and may that be an everlasting glow from THE LIGHT that your dad had in his heart through his trust in Christ.

My sympathy and prayers to Lillian and her children in the loss of her husband, and their father. We know in our hearts that Fred is with the Heavenly Father but I know it is still hard because he will be sorely missed. My regrets that I cannot attend the memorial.

Sincerely, Judith Pittman Brown
