McGovern Lila & Jim

Our family was all saddened when we heard the news of Freddie's passing. Fred was one of Uncle Jim's favorite nephews. He loved to talk with Fred on the phone & to tell each other jokes. They both were a lot of like, cause they loved to tease, joke & always had that cute little grin. We will cherish all our great memories of him. We know he missed your mom these past two years & now they are finally joined for "Eternity". Cherish all of your great memories of them both. They will always be watching over you all. Sorry we couldn't be there to celebrate his life but we will be there in heart & soul. Our Prayers & thoughts are with you all. Our sincere condolence. Uncle Jim & Aunty Lila & families. xoxo
