Norma and family, the Abbous all send their love and condolences. Meeting all of you when my mother was at Burke Rehab 3 years ago was the silver lining during a very difficult time in our lives. Fred was so sweet and kind to us, and we enjoyed getting to know so many of you. Our hearts are so heavy right now. He will be missed immensely. We love you.
