Posted on: Saturday, July 30, 2022Very happy that we were able to make it today. Very happy to see some family and friends. The soloist is so talented and had lots of the congregation lowering their masks to wipe their eyes. Heart goes out to Mary and the rest of the MacDonald MacArther families… today I realized I never saw Freddie finish a race… we might of ran dozens and dozens of races together but me like many others (Donnie, Earl, Ian, Gerry…etc etc )only saw his back … and Were never there to congratulate him when he crossed the line Today is the first time I saw him finish, and judging buy the beautiful legacy he leaves behind he won again! XO Congrats Fred!
