Philippians 4:8 … whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. When thinking about Fred, there were so many ways he was true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy. He made a difference in this world which Christ calls us to do. He knew Christ as his Savior and he is enjoying heaven now. In lieu of flowers, make donations to Crosspoint Church or Church of the Highlands.
