Unconditional love for a man who loved his Mom and did his best to take very good care of her. Though I did not see my Uncle often, I saw his love for his Mom and know he loved his family. His love was more than just his love for being a blessed and inspiring artist. We will always live for your loving memory Uncle Fred! The Binky Dinky Payans!
