Mary, I am so sorry to see this but I know Fred is HOME with a new body and no more pain, no more physical problems!! Praying for you all.
He was an awesome man! I have no doubt that heaven’s gates were flung open wide & the saints were all singing their
“Welcome” to Fred!
Please know how much you are loved, Mary💕
May God hold you in His loving arms and give you His peace.
I am so sorry I can’t be there to hug you all in person. I am sending prayers, love, and hugs.
Dearest Mary, Herb and I are thinking of you as you endure this very difficult separation from your beloved Fred. We will pray for your comfort and peace that can only be found in keeping your mind on God.

Betty, I am so sorry to hear that Fred has passed away. You have been on my mind so much recently. Please take good care of yourself and know that Fred is in Heaven reunited with Family and healthy once again.
I will be in touch with you soon.
Mary,
I am sending this message on behalf of American Legion Post 214, where Fred was a Charter Member. He was affectionally called “The Colonel” by many of us.
Fred has now joined “Post Everlasting”; as he is now with his Savior, family, and comrades.
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers. We will honor our “Brother in Arms” at his Memorial Service and by a donation to his church.
Blessings and Regards,
Chaplain Jack Dorn
Commander of SC American Legion Post 214
