Our prayers go out to the Fredericks family, we would like to express our condolences at this time to your family. The Bible is a great source of encouragement at times like this, a comforting thought is at Revelation 21:4 ‘And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away’
Our Garden club was also a recipient of his wonderful skill! Keeping you Joanne and your sisters in my prayers. Dagmar
