Freddy, not Freddy - what a loss. Freddy was such a great kid - so much fun, always smiling, always in a good mood, friendly to his peers and to adults - liked by everyone and good at so many things. What a tragedy. He had the best smile. My son and everyone who knew Freddy loved him - he had that affect on you. Always positive, never selfish - he will be so missed. I am so so so sorry.

Freddy was one of a kind. He always had a warm smile for us when we visited the Clam Bake. He and my son Chas played football together and spent just as much time laughing as they did playing football. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Debbie, I am so so sorry for the pain you are feeling.I always thought and would tell you how much Eric and Anthony reminded me of each other, both so beautiful inside and out. Eric was the sweetest little boy growing up as our neighbors on Hicks and Dorothy Street. You are such a great mom, whenever you and Eric were together and I would compliment on how sweet and beautiful he was you both would smile and I remember you would touch or rub his back a little with so much PRIDE to be his mother.( And for Eric so PROUD to be your son ) God Bless you and your family, I have been praying and will keep praying. Again I can not say how sorry I am, My heart breaks for you. Eric loved you so much, Just from the way he would look at you ( and you at him ) the Love was so strong! You gave Eric a wonderful life, as the special person you are. Noone can ever take that from you. God bless you, I have not stopped thinking of you. If ever in need please do not hesitate, I would help in anyway possible. Also Michael,Denise and Bobby, I am so so sorry for your family to have to go through such a heartbreaking situation. God Bless all of you. Sherry Derrig ( Pizzo )
