To Fred's family, my deepest condolences to all of you on the passing of your dear Dad and Opa. Fred was such a kind and compassionate man, always concerned for others. I have so many memories as a teenager of his support for all of Ingie's Rangers. As an adult I came to consider both your Mom and Dad as mentors and dear friends. We stayed in touch after your Mom died and I treasured the lunches we had together, often sharing memories of Ingie, and sharing the faith that sustained him in his grief. As long as I can remember he was encouraging and supportive of my endeavours and he was always interested in what i was doing in my life. I'm sorry I wasn't as in touch this past year. I will miss your dad, not only for the connection he gave me to your Mom, but because I loved him as well. They are together again, as it should be. He missed your Mom deeply, as I know you will all miss both of them. Love to all of you. May your memories bless you in the days and weeks ahead. Ann (Hiemstra) Harbridge.
