Grandpa Fred was truly the most loving human being I knew. He thought me how to be a generous, loving soul, and I promised him that everything he had taught me would never go to waste. Grandpa Freddy, if you can read this from heaven, know that I'll always have a place for you deep down in my heart.

Love you always.
