To our family. Fred and I are cousins. We grew up in Shrewsbury and went to school together. Fred was an accomplished musician. You would see him on the organ at the churches he played for. Fred always had that little smirk smile on his face. We were the same age. He loved his family and participated in family gatherings. He took care of the cemetery that many of our loved one are buried. Fred was a proud Mason and wear his uniform with pride. The last time I saw him was about a few months ago. He was sharing in the home-going celebration of one of shrewsburians long members. You could always see him at one or other service. Sleep on cousin, I will see you on the other side. Playing one of the old familiar hymns, "WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN, WHAT A TIME WHAT A TIME"
