Darrick and Shantro our thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember Fred's laugh, it was like a giant hug.
Fred, Thank you for being part of our loving family, it was with great honor that we got to know you thought the love of your life Darlene. the love that you both shared was seen when the two of you was together. you both would make the room light up when you was in it, but now our room is feeling the emptiness now that you both have gone home to be with our Lord and loved ones, you may have been called home now but the great memories you have gave all of us will now be ever so close to our hearts, Rest in peace Fred till we all will be reunited again!
What can I say, I will miss you dad! My dad meant the world to me. Whether he lived close to me or far away, I would talk to him all the time. He was always there for me and a wonderful listener, friend, mentor, and father. I'll cherish our conversations deeply and am grateful for the time we had together. I will miss our football talk and all the the jokes and smiles we shared. I love you dad. Say hi to mom for me.
What a beautiful picture! Rest in Heaven! My kids and I have great memories of you. I remember most vividly the holidays with you and your lovely wife and all of the kids and family. Thank you for your kindness.
Dear Fred, how we miss hearing your voice especially on football Sundays. I always think of you answering the phone with joy in your voice & smile. You were a gentle man with a big heart. You were a joy to be around. Darrick feels the emptiness when the urge to call you sets in. We will sit at breakfast or dinner & talk about the memories Darrick carries in his heart. I think about the loved ones still around us & how we need to keep in touch & pray more for those of us left in this world. I smile knowing you are reunited with your wife, family & friends. I think you guys are laughing, smiling , watching over us…& fishing! You will be missed.
Hello pops. I hope all has been well in your passing. Give mom a big hug, let her know I'm a gardener now, she would be so happy. Tell her I'm a huckleberry when it comes to tomato plants! I'm still trying to get back on the water to fish, but it's been tough with you going. As for myself, I have been navigating how to obtain the inheritance you left for me that we spoke about, but obviously I most likely won't see it considering the circumstances. It's ok. You were so proud to hear of my new job promotion, I still don't think I have grieved because of it because I am still pushing for the things you taught me in staying the course, and not letting hurt stop us. You got a whole new start; you and mom. The ou ain't gonna have to hurt no more.
Although I didn’t know my grandfather as closely as some, he was a constant presence throughout my childhood. He was always there, always supportive, and I never doubted that he cared. His steady encouragement and quiet support meant more than he likely realized, and I’m grateful to have had him in my life. I’m comforted to know your with god in good care. Love you grandpa Fred❤️
