I knew Freddy, along with Robbie and Patricia, when they were our neighbors on Magnolia street in Excelsior. His Dad Arkie could fix about everything and was building a boat in their garage at the time.
So sorry for your loss.

I was blessed to have met Donna’s husband Fred. Donna and I were best friends in school and after reconnecting with a few years before her passing I could tell Fred was that special guy she had always longed to find. Fred and Donna are together again under the guidance from the Lord. They are rejoicing and enjoying their eternity together!Gone to soon but the reflection of their loving legacy lives on through their wonderful children!
