May 11, 2021 at 7:25 pmTo my cousins Freddie, Scott and Mary,
So sorry for the loss of both your parents in such a short spanned of time.
I have many great memories of both of them throughout my childhood. Your mom was everybody’s babysitter and caregiver. Your dad was a great hunter. I’ll never forget eating venison for the first time from one of the deer 🦌 he had got.
Again I’m truly sorry for your loss and thinking of you and hoping your memories of special times bring you all comfort.
