We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time. We will miss speaking with Fred out in the yard, as we do our chores. We have to bring Lindsay back to college on Sunday so we won't be able to make it for the calling hours. If there is anything at all that you need, please don't hesitate to ask.

Gary and I send our deepest condolences to Erika, Jared, Sean, and Krista over this tragic loss. I will never forget how sweet Fred was to me while I stayed at your home a year ago. I loved his sense of humor, his devotion to his children, his pride in their accomplishments, and his support and adoration of his wife, Erika. If I can get out there for Sunday from Anchorage, I will be there. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
