Dear Virginia,
Bill & I did not know about Fred's passing until today, 8-18-08. We are so very sorry and he will truly be missed. We both thought so very much of you and Fred, and I loved to pick on him and always get my hug when I could.
If there is anything that we can do for you please call. God bless always.
Love and prayers,
Bill & Phyllis
