Fred, you loved music your friends and and I know you cared for me. I’ve known you so long and though life took us in different directions, you were always close in my heart.  I am sad I wasn’t here for you; I certainly have regrets, but I am so glad I got to talk to you one last time.  I know that I will see you on the other side, dear friend.  Xoxo

Fred was our Gideon Brother and the entire Chesterfield South Camp will miss him very much.  Since joining this ministry back in 2016, he was a faithful participant in our Saturday morning prayer breakfasts at the Chester Chick-fil-A.  He believed in the power of reading and studying God's Holy Word. He knew this body and Earth was just a temporary place.  He is at home with the Lord now.

My darling brother Fred, as a child, I thought you hung the moon. But then life happened and we took separate paths. Yours always seemed to be steeper and rockier while mine just went farther away. We may have been in little contact lately but you will always be my big brother and I will always love you most dearly. Your troubled path has ended and you may finally rest in peace.
