Hey pops it’s been a few years since I wrote you just feel like I needed to vent honestly I moved out of Arkansas to start a better and new life to become a better person for myself and others I can’t explain all the pain I’m in because I can’t get over the fact that your gone it hurts so bad that I can’t call or ask you for help when I need it you was my right hand man growing up from a young age you always told me don’t grow up making mistakes that you made there’s things I know I said to you growing up was bad and I wished I could take it all back I wish you could have been there for my graduation it just wasn’t the same for me but spiritually I know you was by my side I love and miss you a lot I wish there was a way I could just see you and give you a hug take care pops love you

Freddy, it is so hard sitting here & knowing u are gone. Me & the kids miss u so much. We know u are in a better place. I thank God that he Blessed me with 14yrs to be with you & our kids. You are a true HERO & you knew that u were called by God to do the duties u have done & touched so many lives. You went out alot out alot of nights to help save lives & put out fires.
I thank God so much for u.
(In Memory... A thousand times we needed you
A thousand times we cried
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died
A heart of gold stopped beating
two twinkling eyes closed to rest
God broke our hearts to prove he only took the best
never a day goes by that you’re not in my heart and my soul.
R.I.P. LOVE YOUR WIFE, JANET & OUR KIDS
