  2. Karen & Family – We were so sorry to hear about Fred’s passing. And yet, as I heard his name I had to smile because it made me think of so many stories about Fred. He was a “legend” in his time and a true truck driver, they don’t make them like that anymore. \ We hope to come to the service Saturday, but Steve and my son Trey are over in that area now and are concerned about getting home. We hope to see you tomorrow, but if not, please remember that we wish we could be there, we miss seeing you and will be thinking about all of you. Love, Kathy Swank & All
