I would have never imagined that this day would come so soon. Freddie was such a great,kind and loving person and he will be missed dearly. Sadly, he is in a better place now. And in great company no less, with Granny Ella and Erif right there by his side.

-I'll miss you uncle Fred!

Love,

Kristy

Souls do not fade away and die:

Years pass and yet they do not fade away.Memories are like a distant star,Pouring forth its light across the void.All our tears and laughter do not lie:Though we pass like dreams, our spirits stay,Held fast by love, which is just what we are,

Yet in a form that cannot fade.

Understand death has no use for time. No time is any better, any worse.Cancel twenty years or eighty-nine,Love's a loss one cannot reimburse.Each of us lives for an eternity,Dying only after our forever.Early or late, we vanish equally,All unconscious of the ties we sever,No longer either separate or together.

Debbie, Brandon, Giles, and Katie, I am saddened to hear of Fred's passing. Even as we haven't seen much of each other over the last few years, I always considered Fred a friend. Fred was a giving person as evidenced by his service to our country during a time of war. I always told Fred I had the utmost respect for him as a veteran of combat. May he now rest in eternal peace.

My heart is broken by the things that fate has done. I love you dear brother and will miss you dearly now that you are gone but in my heart you will always be. Your great smile, your friendly, giving and loving soul is such a great loss to this world. You were always first in line to help others putting yourself last. Your duty, courage and honor to this country is appreciated beyond what you could have imagined. We are here today in a free world, thanks to men like you. Your battles are now over and you are at peace and pain free from all that life can be. As you join our dear parents and brothers that left before you remember that we will one day be together again in a wonderful place and what a reunion that will be. God has indeed taken you home but in my heart and memories you will always be. Your loving sister.
