Ellie, Kids,and ANN, So sorry to hear the news on Fred. But on the other hand I am so glad that he has to suffer no more with that awful cancer. Well Fred has been in my life for a very long time. I remember him haying out here in our fields for years. Fred always had a cooler in the back of the truck with soda in it for any one that helped put the hay on the wagon or trucks for him, well my boys were young and they always went over to help throw a few bales, just so they could have Fred's soda... They may have only got 3 or 4 bales. And Fred would give them soda. They always thought that was a great treat. I use to envey Fred cause he had a TAN......and what a tan....He will be missed by many. GOD has taken him home, he is holding his hand and now they BOTH can watch over you folks......GOD BE WITH YOU ALL

We all have lost loved ones in death; but take comfort; He is no longer suffering; (Ecclesiastes 9:5) When Jesus was on the earth, He healed the sick & raised the dead; He has the power to resurrect Mr. Clauss(John 5:28 & 29).
