Frederick Greene Obituary
"I went to church with him, knew him all of his life. He was one of the finest boys you ever saw," Arney said.
Arney worked with Greene for several years at A.C. Lumber and Truss in Mountain City. The company designs and builds trusses, which are structures that support the roofs and floors of houses and other buildings.
"He was a hard worker. He was a computer whiz. He could design a truss. He could do about anything," Arney said.
His family released a statement Sunday calling him a loving son, husband and father, who often acted as the family's protector.
"Even before joining the Army, he exemplified the Army values of loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity and personal courage," the family said.

I've hunted with his dad in Idaho for several years. If his son was half the man that his father is I would have loved to have met him. God bless you and your family.

Just as no man has power over the spirit or can restrain the spirit, so no one has power over the day of death. Just as no one is discharged during a war, so wickedness will not allow those who practice it to escape. All of this I have seen, and I applied my heart to every work that has been done under the sun, during the time that man has dominated man to his harm. (Ecclesiastes 8:8,9). Frederick (Freddie) is surely missed by his family and friends but we want you all to know we continue to pray that soon we will have peace and joy and death will be no more. Keep smiling not crying but if you do be assured many cry with you.

I love you, my foster son. The tears never stop. A part of my is buried with you. You were murdered on my 50th birthday and now I spend that day standing at your grave. Rest in peace my son.

It is sad to know that Fred is gone, but he will not be forgotten by the many people that he touched during his wonderful life. I was friends with him thru Facebook and Mafia Wars, where he showed how truly nice he was to all he met. The world needs more men of honor like Fred these days. His loss will be deeply felt by the many lives that he touched and made better.

Please accept my heartfelt sympathy on such a terrible loss for you and all of us who knew and loved Fred. He was a true patriot in every respect and such a kind and compassionate person who did so much for others. Fred has been a great friend to me and I will be ever thankful for having had the opportunity to know him and will always live in my heart. May the comfort of God help you during this difficult time.

I'm so sorry for your loss, I was one of Fred's many friends on Face book, we would chat almost every night, he had an amazing spirit, and cared for so many,he was one of the most respectful, joyful people I know. I know Fred is with God now, and I'll try not to be sad, but happy for him, but we are so thankful for the time we had with him and will deeply miss him.

To The Family Of Michael Grant Cahill:
The members and Staff at Behold The Lamb Ministries would like to take this moment to send our prayers to you and ask that The Great God of this Universe will carry you through this storm. We were saddened to learn of the incidents that occurred at Fort Hood.
We want you to know that "since Jesus came to dwell with us, we know that God is acquainted with our trials, and sympathizes with our griefs. Every son and daughter of Adam may understand that our Creator is the friend of sinners. For in every doctrine of grace, every promise of joy, every deed of love, every divine attraction presented in the Saviour's life on earth, we see "God with us." "[DOA, by EGW] We know that sorrow and pain and are all in the "present tense". We pray that the person responsible will ask for forgiveness we pray that we as humans will forgive the person responsible. "The work of redemption will be complete. In the place where sin abounded, God's grace much more abounds. The earth itself, the very field that Satan claims as his, is to be not only ransomed but exalted. Our little world, under the curse of sin the one dark blot in His glorious creation, will be honored above all other worlds in the universe of God. Here, where the Son of God tabernacled in humanity; where the King of glory lived and suffered and died,--here, when He shall make all things new, the tabernacle of God shall be with men, "and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God." And through endless ages as the redeemed walk in the light of the Lord, they will praise Him for His unspeakable Gift,---"[DOA,by EGW]
As we approach the holidays of Thanksgiving and Christmas we know that your pain may be greater due to your Loved One's absence. We will be praying with and crying in our hearts. We welcome any prayer request that you may have not only today but in the coming weeks, months and years. We will listen, we will cry with you and we will present all petition before the throne of Christ.
WE LOVE YOU IN CHRIST.

I met Freddy Labor Day weekend. He came to my home in San Antonio to help his buddy move my daughter from her apartment. He sat in my kitchen and ate every item on the table. The variety of mexican food for Saturday's dinner and Sunday's breakfast was a treat for the guys. He spoke about missing his wife and the girls and his loving family back home. With my tear filled eyes and my heart heavy with sorrow, I'll continue to include you in my prayers.

Follow The Rainbow To Heaven.
=======================================
A Soldier had die out on the
battlefield;
Broken hearts are weeping For
Them,
But take comfort of knowing
that God had sent Them a
rainbow from heaven;
The Souls of the Soldiers
have gone to there home
in heaven,
Our Loved One's has follow
God's lovely rainbow in the
sky;
All the way to the end of the
sky.
That leads all the way to the
other end of the Lord's
house in heaven,
So just keep on praying and
trust that God will send us
that same rainbow in the sky;
Where Our Loved One's are
waiting For You and For Me at
the end of the rainbow in
heaven.

A Reminiscence
YES, thou art gone! and never more
Thy sunny smile shall gladden me;
But I may pass the old church door,
And pace the floor that covers thee.
May stand upon the cold, damp stone,
And think that, frozen, lies below
The lightest heart that I have known,
The kindest I shall ever know.
Yet, though I cannot see thee more,
'Tis still a comfort to have seen;
And though thy transient life is o'er,
'Tis sweet to think that thou hast been;
To think a soul so near divine,
Within a form so angel fair,
United to a heart like thine,
Has gladdened once our humble sphere.
