To the Family of Al Freeman,
I knew Al as a tireless fighter for Anacostia. We worked together on several committees and in the Anacostia Garden Club. He was dedicated and determined to make a difference. He stood up and spoke out for what he knew to be right. He was friendly, generous and loved his family. And always, he smiled. I see it even now. We will miss him.
My condolences.

I am so sorry for your loss. Your Dad was a great man. I remember Al when I first came to live here in Anacostia(on U Street in 1987). Whenever I was at community meetings and he alwasys had a warm welcome for me. He really loved his comunity and wanted to make it better for those of us who lived here. He is truly missed!

Dearest Deborah,and Family. The memories of your love one is shared with this city and our community, and most of all I have some very fond memories of the times I shared with your dad. Mrs. Gray said she wish she had come last night so she could have shared some of the stories of thing the 3 of us did together. Like we were at 7 corner in Virginia when the FBI employee was killed by the sniper. Yes we were traveling and shopping in Virginia that same day. The thing with us was that we were are prayer warrior and God gave us favor and protection. Love you Keep in touch please.

Deborah,
I have been sitting here at work continuing to pray for you and your family and remembering. As your friend and brother in Christ I will always remember the times shared with your father in our youth. Real simple occasions where he gave words of encouragement and that smile made one feel like everything would be fine. Yes, he will be missed. For those of us who he touched, we will continue to enjoy the blessing of him in our hearts looking forward to seeing him again.
Thanks for sharing your father with your friend.
Thanks Mr. Freeman for a great friend in your daughter.
May God bless you and keep you. May He protect and comfort you and your family in this time as He has throughout the years.
See you soon.

Goodbye to a model member and our sympathy to his family. Everyone Al touched has an asset in their lives. We are going to miss his smile and soft voice that always said what can I do to help, do you need anything else? What a blessing to have known Al Freeman.

To The Gore Family:
To everything and everyone there is a season, God allowed your father's season to come now and end his pain and suffering. The word of God lets us know that to be absence from the Body is to be present with the Lord. Take comfort in knowing that he is with God and the pain is no more. You're in our prayers.
