I was so sorry to read of your loss. Mr. and Mrs. Freeman were in my parents' Sunday School class at Wealthy St. Baptist Church. I remember Kevin from my years growing up there. On behalf of my family, please accept our condolences to each of you during this difficult time.

We will miss Mrs. Freeman who taught both our girls in Sunday School at Grandville Baptist years ago. Mr. Freeman (Bill) was also a good friend. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
