Allison, June, & Laura,

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm not sure if you remember me but I used to babysit June and Laura years ago when they were just little. We used to have so much fun playing house and watching Harry Potter movies. It's hard to believe that was about 6 or so years ago and now the girls are all grown up.
I remember Fritz was such a wonderful person. He always had a big smile on his face and was very welcoming. My family and I send our thoughts and prayers.

Fritz's gentle nature was apparent in Junior High School. Always polite and soft spoken. We all giggled when he and Allie started dating, but they sure showed us all the true meaning of endless love.
Allie...my oldest and dearest friend...
Fritz knows that you, Laura and June will thrive on his memories knowing he gave all he possible could.

Having only met Fritzie once I was thrilled that he brought his father to Bill's and my wedding. He seemed like a wonderful person, happy and smiling. Our condolences to Allison and to June and Laura. Our prayers are with you. Hope to meet you sometime.
