Our sincere condolences to the David family from the family of Danny Lees. Freddie was a wonderful man, and a very special part of our memories of Victoria Beach. He always had time to stop and be nice to us kids, at the pier, even when he was busy unloading his catch of fish. He and Ingrid never failed to send our parents a Christmas card, through all the years. Our thoughts are with you at this sad time. - Georgia, Virginia and JD Lees - Posted by: Georgia (Lees) Klass (Daughter of Danny Lees, a friend of Freddie) on: May 10, 2017

Dear Family, It is with gentle tears and love in our hearts that we acknowledge Freddy's transition home to the bosom of loving family. Lorna Bryne, Irish Mystic, in her book A Message of Hope from the Angels..Chapter 14..title: Angels dry your Tears...talks of the Guardian Angel of our passing loved one, lifting the glowing soul forward to Heaven. She also speaks about our personal Guardian Angels will place their hand on our hearts, to fill us with light into the emptiness we feel, when we witness a transition of a loved one. Hugs and prayers, Michal Lee and Family - Posted by: Michal Lee (Cousin) on: May 09, 2017
