Donna,
Fred was one of the best uncle's that I had growing up. He was always there willing to lend a hand or give some advice at any time or just willing to listen. He was such a wonderful person and I'm a better person because I had the two of you in my life at such a tender age! Thank you both for everything! God bless you and I will always love you!
Love, Angel
