Bless you my brother. Freeman was a dedicated hard worker for me at CJ Hughes. I remember when he came to me to say he accepted the Lords grace for his salvation, so happy at the time and filled with the love of Christ.
So sorry I can’t attend your service, my prayers are with the family.
Rest my brother in Jesus arms.
Love and prayers,
Rick Phillips
