Mr. Fred, Jeff and I were talking about you last night. He said the last laugh the both of y'all had together was about how beautiful, yet clumsy Trinity is! That is soo the truth. She is looking more and more like you and Jeff everyday. Also, I know you know that the Saints are undefeated. I know you are fixing the games, and that's ok because we all know with out you they wouldn't stand a chance. Ha Ha I had to get that in!! We love you and we think of you everyday!
Love always, Ash
Happy Birthday Freddy. I love you.
Uncle Freddy was one of a kind. I'll never forget the weekends we spent with him. David and I would look forward to every Friday when he and Betty would come to Covington. That is just one of the many memories that make me smile. His signature singing chicken dance made us laugh every time he did it. It is such a bitter sweet goodbye. I'm happy to see you are no longer suffering, but will miss seeing your bright smile when we come to town. Freddy may be gone, but I am certain everyone that knows him will never forget him. Rest in peace Freddy we will meet again one day.
To my Freddie, Fred, Fred;
I'll miss you more than I can express in words. You were one of the best men I knew, & I am proud to have known & loved you. You were one of the kindest, nicest most generous people on this earth.
When I met you 25+ years ago you seemed quite shy and reserved, but as we got to know each other and you got used to our gang the real Fred came out and we had some good times. You're a ledgend chicken dancer!!
I will miss you so much & will treasure the good times throughout the years. I am so thankful of the time we spent together several months ago...we had a good time just hanging out and hitting a few casinos along the way. Especially, the Silver Slipper...when we lost track of time, lol.
I am thankful that your earthly pain is gone and you're in Heaven with Our Lord.
Bet,
I cannot express my deep sadness for your loss. It is worse than words can express and if I could take away your pain I would do so in a heart beat. Your Fred loved you like not too many man love thier wives. You were his princess and your pedestal was high. Most women can only hope for a husband as loving and attentive as Fred.
Jeffery, Timmy, Jody & Wendy,
I am so sorry for the loss of your Dad. My the Lord help you through your time of grieving.
Jeff: Bill and I wanted to send to you our sympathies to you and your family for the loss of your dad. Our prayers and thoughts are with you.
Dad, I don't think you know how much it meant to me when you told me to call you dad. Words can't express how much you mean to me. You are the closet thing to a father that I have ever had. I look up to you, I respect you and the most important thing is I love you. You have given me the greatest gift ever-Your Son Jeff. I am not gonna cry any more, I am gonna smile from now on because I now know you have a season pass with a front row seat for every Saints game forever. And If they make it to the super bowl i am gonna know why. I love you and there isn't a second that goes by that Jeff and I will not miss you. Besides we have lil mini you with us every day. I just hope Jeff and I can do as great of a job raising our kids just like you did with yours!! I love you and have fun at the games!!
I'll always love you my Freddy. No more pain my love, Have a safe journey and time for cocktail hour with Dad. Tell him we love him. I will miss you desperately. What fun and good times we've had over the past 25 years. Thank you for giving me the best life imaginable and for being the most honorable, kindest loving soul that has ever walked on this planet. I will always love you baby.
Jeff, My condolences to you and your family at this time. Know that God is with you and feel his loving arms of protection during this difficult time in your life. Stand on his promises and know that the bible says to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May God give you the strength you need during your time of sorrow.
