Marietta, and the entire Freeman family, your loss is felt far beyond your members. Your family has always been one that spread the true meaning of family to all that knew you. Gary's smile and personality will be truly missed. But, God's blessing is that when any of the Freeman family is around he is present also. Hold on to the memories and remain that light that you are.

I offer my deepest condolences to the Freeman family in the loss of their beloved Bernard, especially to my cousins Phyllis Danielly and her family. I recognize how difficult it is to lose a close family member; but I also know how powerful our God is. He promises to wipe away every tear that we shed. May God continue to keep you in his loving care.
