I am so sorry that I am under the weather and can't attend Freddie's celebration of life. I have nothing but fond memories of Freddie when we would go over to granny's on Sundays or when we would visit aunt Peg. His prowess as an artist is well known and is a skill/talent that several family members possess, including aunt Peg. But I cherish the fact that I was able to get his phone number from Aunt Edna and call him last year. He was so surprised and so appreciative. Rest well cuz!
