My brother, my friend.... I thank God for your union to my dear sister Tryla, or, Try, as you so lovingly called her, and for having you in our family for over 30 years. You will be dearly missed. I shall never forget the talks that we shared, your love for God and Tryla, your sense of humor, and your willingness to always impart your wisdom. I smile to myself each time I think about one of my most recent humorous memories of my brother. I received a voicemail message from Tryla, which was a request for some desserts that she wanted me to prepare and mail to her from GA to OH for ‘HER’ birthday. As I listened to the message, it came as no surprise that she wanted oatmeal raisin cookies, however, I was surprised to hear that she also wanted tiger cake. Well, I later learned that Fred had actually put her up to calling and requesting the tiger cake (one of his favorite cakes) for ‘HER’ birthday...LOL!!! I love you my brother, and I will certainly miss you. May you rest in Heaven!!!
With much love,
You sister Jacqui
