Words from Becky Wilson

My family and I cannot thank the Brazoria County Cavalry enough for the wonderful tribute that was given to our hero, husband, father and friend.  We were overwhelmed with emotion with the show of support and tribute that was given to him by the Cavalry members.  The end of his service was exactly what he wanted. The “Battle Hymn of the Repubic” playing as he was being lead out of the church.  However, never in his wildest dreams did he expect to be escorted by the wonderful group of supporters that came.  My breath was taken away when I saw them lined up at attention down the steps and around the hearse. It was a humbling sight to see.

The escort through town with the motorcycles and flags flying, passing by his office for the last time was exactly what I wanted for him.  I have never ever seen in the many processions that I have been in, the traffic come to a complete stand still and people standing outside of businesses and on the side of the road watching him pass.  People knew on that day that a hometown hero had come through town that day.

Thank you, Tracy for working on the advance preparations. Please extend our family’s deep appreciation to all of the Cavalry Members who came by for visitation and who participated in Fred’s services.

We miss him. It is hard to believe that it has been two weeks already.  A donation through Baker Funeral Home is coming your way soon along with one for the Brazoria County Honor Guard.  Let me know when you receive it, please.  I hope that your brother is doing better since the last time we talked.

Sincerely,

Becky Wilson
