Diane, I am so sorry for the loss of your husband. Sorry this message is being posted so far after Fred's death. Fred's Family went to the same church as my Family in Bridgeport, IL where we grew up as children. Fred and I were in the same confirmation class and Walther League at Trinity Lutheran Church, Bridgeport, IL.....I just wanted to let you know who I was and that you have my deepest sympathy....
