Way back in the '80s we were searching for a church and found Hope and Fred. (What a combination because he sure did give us Hope.) To this day we remember him as our favorite Pastor. A job took us away and we missed him - and still do.

We are so thankful for the times we shared with you Violet and with Fred. I most appreciate the year Fred spent leading the 'Through the Bible in One Year' and sharing with you the trials and tribulations of your job at the nursing home - and with your job of playing bingo. We love you and send sympathies to you and the kids and to Carol.
