We are deeply sorry for your loss

I have lost a neighbor to my parents in Galax,Va, and enjoyed many good memories with my parents, from making kraut together to sharing recipes, gardens, & good fellowship for many years. After Juanita, my parents passing, Freedie continued to be involved & added to community activities. Freedie was a giver, good neighbor, friend and always positive influence where ever he was. I miss you, Freddie, and will see you one day. Your loving neighbor, Gail Greene

I had the pleasure of meeting and working with "Grandpa Freddie" at Harmon's...Loved him from day one!!! Will miss my dear friend but know Grandpa was ready to go home...Praying for your family...and until we meet again RIP ❤

To Fredie's family, & Fredie, I was going to drive up for funeral. But we've had a terrible storm & I've chosen to stay home. At least, Bill, my brother came to see you not long ago, & shot me a photo of you eating. I was glad to see you eating. You had lost so much weight. We love you Freddie and you have enriched our lives & I am sure you are still doing that now. Enjoy your great reward. Gail Greene

Carolann, so sorry to hear that Freddie has passed away. If you go through your old pictures of a Weddle, there will probably be a dog with them just like Freddie. It comforts me and I hope that it will comfort you also that his big buddy and cousin,Jimmy, is in Heaven to be with Freddie. Love Corvin

To: Freddie's Family: Sorry to hear of his passing. I never knew Freddie but he and my husband, Jimmy Weddle were great Buddies. They are back together again. Remembering you in my prayers. Sadie Weddle
