I lost a wonderful friend last week
and only learned of it on Monday, wish i had known. I’ll always remember the fun we had and the crazy things we used to do. I’ll
miss you.
Freddy,
Words can never express our sorrow when we heard about your dad. We remember all those hot days at Cathey’s Creek sitting on the hill with your dad watching you race. We had some wonderful times with both of you. Your dad was a very fine man and he will truly be missed by all of us. Our love and prayers are with you today, tomorrow and always. Just remember as long as the memories stay in your heart he will always be with you.
Much love,
Dan, Sarah and Daniel
