To The Murillo Family,
It is very sad to learn of Freddy's passing. Unfortunately, I did not have the pleasure of meeting up with him again after graduation. I do remember him well. He had a very pleasant personality, very jovial all of the time. He was a friend to everyone! He would do anything for you. I understand he had a very successful career and beautiful family. Please utilize all of the good memories to help you thru this time of sorrow. May God Bless you all and May his soul rest in peace.
