Dear Alice and family
I was very sad when I heard of Fred's passing. He was such a good person and a wonderful teacher. Even now I feel I should call him Mr. Whitley. I know words cannot comfort but God can. I will be praying that He will give you comfort and strength daily to face whatever lies ahead for you. May God bless you, is my prayer.
Love
Edna and Jim Duke
Love
