My sympathy to the family.mum be strong and God will be with you all your ways

I am deeply sorrowful in the passing of my friend and cousin.Wefellowshipped weekly by phone even though we were miles apart the connection was always there.We never left Christ and family out of our conversations. We talked on New Year's Day and expressed our blessings to Christ for allowing us to make to another year. I grew up with Freddy and he was always like my brother because he would always look after me especially after my brother Murray (his best friend) passed. I love Freddy with all my heart because we had agape love for one another. Each time we talked I always asked do you need anything or can I get something for you but he always responded "all I need is your prayers because the prayers of the righteous availeth much ". I am going to miss you and our talks.I know you were tired but you fought a good fight and now you have taken your rest. Finally I send my deep condolences to the family and most of all Brenda Freddy wife who was faithful until death.May God continues to give you strength to continue this race.RememberIwillalways be here for you ❤ 🙏.
