To The Family,
Please accept my condolence. I hope that you are able to draw comfort from the scriptures during this difficult time. “Let me tell you my favorite Bible text.” Job who said: “If an able-bodied man dies can he live again ?”. You will call, and I myself shall answer you. For the work of your hands you will have a yearning.” (Job 14:14, 15).
Again, you have my deepest sympathy.

We remember Fred since we lived next door to his mother "Tillie". We got to know Fred and his weekly Sunday visits to the homestead and his walks on Strasburg Road. A fine gentleman who served his country proudly in WWII. We will always remember the Garnett family and their influence in our lives.
