Tony and Gina,
I don’t know if you will remember me, but I lived next door to your grandparents McAlister when I was young. I remember us playing together. I just wanted to tell you how very sorry I am for your loss. It’s always hard to lose a parent. My prayers go out to you both.

Heaven gained a sweet angel who was so much to so many for so many years. .This empty void will take a great deal of learning to deal with. We were blessed to have Fred as a dear friend for many years and are so proud of the great race he ran.. Thank God for wonderful, cherished memories to help each of you and yours through these most difficult days. Our thoughts, love and prayers continue for you and yours.
