Mr. & Mrs. Laubach and Greg,

What a complete shock to receive such news. I have such fond memories of Freddie as my first neighborhood crush. I was once told that people who have serious illness' are selected or the chosen ones to help Christ carry his cross. What an honor, Freddie shared. I pray for your peace and may you find comfort in your memories of him.

Love from the mountains-Marty, Jill, Grant and Madeline

Fred and Laurene,

Our hearts and prayers go out to you at this time. It is hard for a parent to bury a child but you should take comfort in the fact that Freddie is in a better place.

I knew Fred through Pat & Kimmy Culbertson, I am their cousin. Fred touched our lives in a way that can not be put into words. A lot of my teen years were spent with Fred and he made those years happy and fun. He will always be special to me and my family. He helped me through a lot of hard times. He will always be the guy with a heart of gold and beautiful smile! He left a permanent imprint on the heart of all that knew him. My heartfelt sympathy and condolences go out to you and your family. I know words can not help with this tragedy but I wanted you to know that Fred was loved by many and will be missed greatly.

Love to your family,

Lisa Pierce-Gonzales
