My cousin, Fred, was one of the kindest, most giving persons I have ever known. We shared many laughs and good times growing up in the suburbs of Chicago. My wife, Susan, and I are very grateful for the wonderful time we shared with Dee Ann and Fred on our visit to D.C. and Virginia in 2015. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Dee Ann.
