Dear Alice and family, Sincere condolences for the passing of my Uncle Fred. Although I did not see him often as a child or an adult, he always was very kind. He was a tremendous support for my Mother when my Dad died. It was a huge comfort to me knowing that he was available when I was miles away. I wish you many comforting memories, especially during this Christmas. Much love, Rita & family
