My Daddy, Leroy Eugene Frederick, Moravian-Bohemian, Proud American Patriot, and Texan

 

Today, would have been my Daddy's 95th. Birthday. He was a good and honorable man. I miss him so much. I am proud to carry on our family legacy in any way that I can. I have created many family blogs for different lines of our family. I proudly took over the "Family Historian" role from my maternal grandfather and my paternal grandmother, Bessie Mazac Frederick. It has been over 35 years now that I have been writing about my family. 

I planned on writing a book one day, but I have so much information that I was overwhelmed, and didn't know where to start. I am on a fixed income now and really cannot afford to do what I would like to do. I had dreamed about publishing my books, but it would be so expensive. 

So, I have created an online presence for my family on the websites: familysearch.org and findagrave.com and my many, many family blogs on wordpress and blogspot. So, when I am gone to my final resting place, all of my work will be preserved for all mankind to see. I pray that one day I will be with my mother and daddy again. Maybe, if I am good I will make it to heaven to be with them. I know that they are in heaven. Rest in peace, Daddy, and know that you are loved and missed.
