  1. I am so sorry to hear of Fred’s passing. We attended church together and he was a real sweet person. I’m sure he will be missed!

  2. Fred, I am so sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. My father was Granville Cornett. I remember they would ride together to so many Masonic meetings and events. I know he is going to be missed. May God bless you all during this time.
