To my dear family.....how lucky are we to have had Uncle Fred in our lives...Friday afternoon I was standing at the kitchen window and out on the deck railing was a bright, beautiful red cardinal..I knew instinctively it was Uncle Fred stopping by to say he was fine now. The same thing happened after Dad died and each time I'm visited by one I know it's someone stopping by to say 'hello' and let me know they're fine.
Our deepest love and heartfelt sympathies to you all..
Kathy, Emily & Veronica
