My deepest condolences to the Freiner family. May God guide all of you through this journey of grief.
Condolences to the Freiner family on the loss of Rich. Tim and I had many conversations in the front living room with Rich in our younger days. I remember him tapping his feet while he listened to Lorrie Morgan. Rest in Peace Rich! You will be missed.
