Bio:
This precious boy dedicated his life to taking care of my son who was born with a physical disability. No one came near the child w/o Phreddies approval. He slept with him, sat in the tub with him, watched tv with him. If my son needed me, Phreddie would dash to come get me. When therapists Came to the home, he would guard my son until he was finished "inspecting" them if he liked them, then and only then, would he allow them to work with my child. The day before he passed on, as weak as he was ( he passed away from CRF) He met a new therapist, and allowed her to work after inspection. He loved us so much, that on the day he passed, he sent us Gracie and Bowen.

December 19th. 2003.
You walked to me and climbed into my arms. You climbed to your position, front legs over my shoulder, head nestled against my neck. You said.."it's time"
CRF had ravaged your beautiful body.. but.. it never diminished your soul.
How I miss you..
How empty the spot you once filled in our home.
If only I knew then what I know now...I'd move heaven and earth to change things.

They say memories are golden
well maybe that is true.
I never wanted memories,
I only wanted you.


A million times I needed you,
a million times I cried.
If love alone could have saved you
you never would have died.


In life I loved you dearly,
In death I love you still.
In my heart you hold a place
no one could ever fill.


If tears could build a stairway
and heartache make a lane,
I'd walk the path to heaven
and bring you back again.


Our family chain is broken,
and nothing seems the same.
But as God calls us one by one,
the chain will link again.
