Tammy and family, wanted you to know that you folks will be in our thoughts and prayers as you begin a new journey. I pray for your peace and the assurance that only God can give. I wanted to attend the funeral, but I had grandchild duty, unexpectedly.

Fred was a wonderful person. He would help in children’s church when I would ask, no matter how crazy it was. He was a good friend, never met a stranger and would light up the room when he came. He will be missed. Love and prayers.

Fred will be missed at church. It will be strange not hearing him participate in the joking about sports he did with a few of the men at church. My condolences go to all of his family and friends.
