I feel the same way Suzie.

Good night sweet dreams

May The angels have Freddie in their arms as he enter the kingdom of God...

Rest in peace Our Dear Friend Freddie.

OMG I am so saddened to hear about Fred....It just goes to show how this blog has brought so many people together and we feel like we all know each other (even if we never met) for years.

My deepest sympathies to his family.... I know he will be greatly missed, he seemed like a truely wonderful man.

HELLO FRIENDS

FREDDY WHAT CAN I SAY HE WAS A GREAT MAN HE WAS MY HERO HE WAS MORE LIKE A BROTHER THEN A FRIEND

HE KEEP HIS SICKNESS TO HIMSELF NEVER SHOWING HIS PAIN

THATS MORE THEN ANY OF US DO WE CRY WHEN WE BREAK A NAIL

FREDDY I WILL MISS YOU

LOVE YOU GUY

GOOD BY TO MY BROTHER FROM ANOTHER MOTHER

Thank you Anna and Warren.

Fred never complained about his illness.

He had a kidney transplant AND IT WAS SUCCESSFUL.

He was a diabetic I think and he had one leg amputated and was doing great.

He had Pancreatic cancer which no one knew and I guess passed from that deadly disease..

I loved his quote under his photo on here.

Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well-preserved body. But rather to slide in sideways, totally worn out, Shouting:

~~~~ HOLY SHIT, WHAT A RIDE ~~~~~

Good Morning all,

Off to zumba by the beach. Need it after all the eating..lol

May go to see Freddie today. I hate driving into brooklyn and no one knows me in his family. I feel funny but my kids said MA..go for him...So I guess I will go even though I really don't know anyone. He is at Scarpaci's so I guess there will be someone I know but I will do it for Freddie. I am sure he is watching us from above...

see ya later...Love to all...

Prayers are needed for Vincy Ann(she was married to Monteforte years ago not anymore) who grew up in the slope. Her little baby grandson needs lots of prayers I believe prayer works....so if u remember say one. thans

Good morning....

So sad about Freddie :-(

Terry good luck to your son!! NY Law...God bless him!!

Hope everyone has a great day...
