My deepest condolences for Alice and all of Fred’s family. What a joy it was to know Fred! I’m thankful for getting to know Fred through being Alice’s co-worker, and for time spent playing mahjong with Fred & Alice. He will surely be missed. Praying for God to comfort Fred’s family in their time of grief.
