Fred, I am sorry for your loss. Although we have not seen each other since the days of Cub Scout Pack 223, I wanted you to know that I am thinking about you and your family at this time of sorrow.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to the family. Freddy was a very well liked man. He was pleasant and reserved, talked to everyone and just had a pleasant way about him. Well now Freddy you are with Erna. Your days on earth will now continue in heaven. Will be missed by all. Rest in peace.

Dearest Uncle Fred,
We will forever miss you and Aunt Erna, and the times we shared over cups of tea! Every one of our children's births was greeted by a visit from you both. Although you were separated for a little while by time, you are now together again for all eternity! You both are sadly missed! Our deepest sympathy to you Mike, Sue, and Family.
