Aumt Marge and Jim, You are in my thoughts and prayers. I think God must have thrown away the mold after he made Uncle Fred; he wasn't very tall but he always managed to stand out above the crowd. I have so many fond memories of him. He sure knew how to tell a story, didn't he? From now on I will think of rain as tears of laughter from all the angels and saints who are circled around him. Love, Kathy

Aunt Marge, I am so sorry about Uncle Fred. I will never forget the little mice he made with handkerchiefs and the smile that was always on his face no matter what. Sorry that I cannot make it to the funeral but my prayers are with you. Love Terry
