My sincere condolences to Fred and her Family. She was an Angel here on earth. She touched many lives personally and professionally. She was such a sweet and delightful personality. I am blessed to have know her. I can only imagine what a welcome home reception that was held in her honor.

Fred,
I am so sorry to hear of Jennifers passing. I know this is a tremendous loss for you. You have all the memories to help console you during this time.
I always enjoyed the visits with you and Jennifer and the wonderful meals and those fabulous poundcakes she made. I am sure Martha Stewart would be proud of her.
I would love to come to the services but right now I have to take care of Cynthia as she fell and broke her kneecap. She has her cast off but still is on a knee brace and crutches for now. She can't travel any distance for now. Be some time before she is back to normal. We are sorry we can't be there but know that you and your family is in our thoughts.
Regards,
Bob
