I’m saddened to hear of the great loss your family has suffered in these past days. Fred had such a wonderful love for his country that was shown through his service to it. He had such an bright and warm energy that surrounded him. His legacy will live on through his past service to his country, his beautiful children that he’d been blessed with, as well as his entire family he leaves behind. I pray that you all find comfort in one another at this time of great loss.
Freddy …may the sky stay forever blue ,so when your friends & family look toward it they can think of you.
