To our friends and family,
It has been a busy and difficult time for us this past two weeks. We thank everyone for their thoughts, support,
and prayers.
A few of you had expressed wanting to do something for Fred and we promised to get back to you. Fred loved
to talk about two things: his family and his life as a surgeon. He was equally proud of being a Filipino and
would always include news about them and their achievements.
Gifts can be sent to PEACE (Philippine Economic and Cultural Endowment, IRS Tax ID number 371201596)
