Uncle Fred, if you were here I would tell you how much you will be missed. We were not able to spend a lot of time together over the years, but I can hear you saying my name and I will always remember you as a gentle man. You are in my memories and that is where you will always be. I wish we were all able to see you before you started your final journey. Memories will have to fill that void. God Bless you until we are together again.Love,"Pammy"
