Dear Aunt Bernice, Debbie, and Steve:
Our prayers and thoughts are with you. You know through the years, I have truly respected the lives you and Uncle Freddie have led. You both were role models for Christian couples everywhere. Uncle Freddie's laugh, smile and loyalty to family will always be with us. I hope you call when we make a family trip to Huntington.
I am glad Robert was able to attend services. Again our thoughts and prayers will be with you in the year ahead. Herb and Freddie are smiling down on us with the Lord.
Peace be with your family,
June Blevins Gallian

Dear Bernice, I am so sorry for your pain and loss. I wish so much that Fred's illness wasn't such a mystery and that he could have been healed. He was a wonderful man, always with a smile. You will have some hard days ahead, but you also have memories of a good man who adored you. Perhaps that will help to sustain you in this terrible time.

Jeff and I will miss him dearly and the kids already ask about him daily. I could never imagine how you all feel to loose such a wonderful husband and father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, today, tomorrow, and always.

Dear Bernice, Debby, Steve & Family:
My heart goes out to all of you with love and prayers. I wish we could be there. We know Fred is in a better place and not sick anymore, but I know you will miss him. Try to remember all of the good times and his wonderful smile, soft spokeness, and kindness to others. He will now be with those he loves in Heaven. We will see him again one day. We loved him.
Love, Nancy and Mike Miller & Family
