"EARTH HAS NO SORROW THAT HEAVEN CANNOT HEAL" TO: Rosa, John, and members of the Savadge family. Our hearts and prayers are with you at this very difficult time. It's virtually impossible to convey our sorrow and disbelief at the passing of our friend Fred. He was a good friend, one of a kind, and we will truly miss him. As Auxiliary President, he was always ready and willing to assist me, and for that I will always be eternally grateful. "We loved him, but God loved him best. "May His Soul Rest In Peace".
