  1. Fred, and his wife Annette, served the East Point Christian Church faithfully as “Roadies”, directing parking for Sunday morning services. Not the easiest job considering the amount of cars moving in and out for services and the weather was not always pleasant to be out in. Fred and Annette were always faithful!

  2. Annette, my deepest sympathy to you and your family. Fred was such a wonderful person and caring husband. I pray that God will fill you with His love and support during this very difficult time. Your were such a wonderful wife and loving caregiver for Fred during his illness. Sending hugs and prayers to you and your family……
