My darling Fred today was the hardest day of my life. I miss you terribly. Today when preparing the deviled eggs I had to cry because you were not here to crush the potato chips like always. I walk into the yard and sit in the swing and cry. I walk in the house and I cry. I think of you constantly. I would give anything to have you here beside me right now, but not in the condition and the pain of trying to breathe that you were in. I know that you are now free. Someday we will be together again. I love you. I know you are with your lord and savior. Your loving wife.

My Dearest Unc,
A joy to so many, the Light of Life's Party. You continued to put me on the "right path" with your unconditional love until I could stand on my own. You taught me to share that love. I am blessed to call you my family. Your wonderful smile will keep me in my joy & His Grace until we share that hug again. All my love, all my days, Unc.

Fred, you always made me laugh being around you. I'll never forget riding next to you on the Dungeon Drop at Astroworld! Neila and I nearly busted out your eardrums that day! You will be missed dearly.
