In Memory of Adrienne Fryer 
I am so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you. I pray that time will ease your pain and may the love of family and good friends be a comfort to you.
Love, Donna Scott-Lockett, Boynton Beach, Florida
To The Fryer Family:
What sunshine is to flowers, smiles are to humanity. They are but trifles, to be sure but, scattered along life's pathway, the good they do is inconceivable.
A happy heart makes the face cheerful. Proverbs 15:13 (NIV)..
Be encouraged..God does not promise skies always blue...
but he does promise to see us through.
..Adrienne is with the Lord "smiling"..We are praying for You!!!!

I turned on my stereo the other day and I heard this song that reminded my of our beloved Adrienne!
"With You In Your Dreams"
If I'm gone when you wake-up, please don't cry.
And if I'm gone when you wake-up it's not good-bye.
Don't look back at this time as a time of heart break and distress.
Remember me, Remember. Cause I'll be with you in your dreams.
If I'm gone when you wake-up, please don't cry.
And if I'm gone when you wake up, don't ask why.
Don't look back at this time as a time of heart break and distress.
Remember me, Remember me, Cause I'll be with you in your dreams.
Don't cry, I'm with you.
Don't cry, I'm by your side.
Don't cry, I'm with you.
Don't cry, I'm by your side.
And though my flesh is gone, I'll still be with you at all times.
And though my body's gone, I'll be there to comfort you at all times.

To Dwight, Linda, and Amanda, though my presence wasn't with you in your (our) time of sorrow, my heart is and always will be with you. You know a smart God fearing man talked to me some time last year and cause me to see the errors in my ways. He told me life was to short not to let one day go by without letting your loved ones know just how blessed and loved we are by our heavenly father. He gives us each other to love as he loves us (isn't God good). Though I may not show it often or maybe never shown it I love you all. We are family.
To Adrienne, you will be missed. Your smile will never be forgotten as should none of God's angels. Therefore, I say to you I will see you again cousin. I love you.

For Adrienne's family and friends, I pray that the following poem will bring peace to your grieving hearts, and a smile to your face as you remember how she touched so many hearts during her all-too-brief walk with us. "Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14:27......Bill Champion
"Letter From Heaven"
To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say.
But first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness. Here is just eternal love.
Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I am with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you.
It's good to have you back again, you were missed while you were gone.
I need you here so badly, you're part of my great plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."
God gave me a list of things that He wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed, the day's chores put to flight,
God and I are closest to you in the middle of the night.
When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years,
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry, it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.
I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
If I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is over,
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.
There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb.
But together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.
If you can help somebody, who's in sorrow and pain
then you can say to God at night, "My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented that my life was worthwhile.
Knowing as I passed along the way I made somebody smile.
So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street and you've got me on your mind,
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.
And when it's time for you to go from that body to be free,
remember you're not going you're coming here to me.

Dwight, I am so sorry for your loss. I will be praying for you as you mourn this loss. I didn't know Adrienne but from looking at her picture, she has that same contagious smile as you have. I haven't forgotten that smile since I worked with you in Finance. Adrienne is in heaven with our Lord and is probably playing band music right now! I have a daughter in the Bartlett Band and this news spread quickly to their school and they have prayed for you as well.
Love in Christ,
Sandy Howard--Fedex
We wanted to personally send something to let you and your family know that I am very sorry of your lost. We love you and know that God knows what's best. Me and my family will continually pray for you and your family--just know that Adrienne is with the Father above....for to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Love and Prayers,

My time on earth with Adrienne will always be special to me. Adrienne was always about the Lord's business, and sometimes she wasn't even aware of it. Adrienne will never know how she kept me going last fall, but I want her parents to know that their little girl ministered to me in ways that would make some adult Christians blush with shame. With her sweet smile, she would come into the band room to get ready for the ball games or a competition and head straight for me. "Mom Putnam", she'd say, "how are you feeling? Are you any better yet?" and I'd say, "No, not yet, but I'm here." She'd put her sweet arms around me and say simply, "I'll say a prayer for you, --God will see after you and you'll be alright." And every Friday night in the stands she'd call me over and have me sit down in front of her. She'd pat me on the back (I've had two kidney stone surgeries) and tell me that she was praying for me to get well. Well, I got to the point where I would look for Adrienne first, before I did anything else. It's really true that "a merry heart doeth good like medicine" Just to see her smile at her friends and to watch her interact with the other band kids was such a joy. Adrienne was the kind of child that all of us pray that our children will be. She is truly, now and forever, a child of God. On Monday afternoon after I found out about the death of my "Baby Girl" as I called her, I went out to Bolton to see how her friends were doing. Walking into that room was like walking into a revival meeting. As I read the notes that were written to Adrienne and her parents, I could feel God's precious presence and peace there. As I read on, there would be notes expressing great sorrow at the loss of such a precious friend, and right beside a note of that kind there would be a note from another student expressing how sad they were to have missed getting a once in a lifetime chance to meet a real angel up close. There were all kinds of stories about things that Adrienne and some of the other kids had done for fun, and how she had helped them over hurdles in their lives. God was, even then,working through Adrienne. Mr. and Mrs. Fryer, may it comfort you to know that your child is waiting in heaven for you, for all of us who believe in Him and have received Him into our hearts. I know I can't wait to see Adrienne again. Please know that we love you in the Lord and that our prayers are with you.

Adrienne,
I wish I'd known that Sunday before Super Bowl Sunday would be the last time I'd see you. I wish I'd had time to say good-bye. I miss you so much. The last time I saw you, you were so happy, I never thought you'd leave me so soon. I want to always remember you the way you were the last time I saw you. You were so happy. I love you girl. I know you're in heaven, and I know you're in good hands, so that will lessen the pain a little. I will always and forever remember you. I will always keep you in my heart.
Tamara Sneed
To the Fryer Family,
My sincerest condolences on the loss of Adrienne. She was a wonderful person and will be missed very much. I know this is a tough time, and whatever you need I'm there. She will always be in my heart and your family will always be in my heart and in my prayers. The road ahead may seem long and hard, and many tears will wet your path, but there is a light at the end of this tunnel. And though it seems like a long road to happiness, always remember the good times that you had together. And always remember you have a shoulder to cry on and someone to talk to. God will give you strength
I love you all and God bless,
Tamara Sneed
For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Find Peace in knowing we will be with the Lord!
Amanda Taylor
Nothing man can say or do gives enough comfort to bear your loss but God has given his word to remind us of his great compassion "Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. For just as the sufferings of Christ flow over into our lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows."
2 Corinthians 1:3-5.

Farewell Adrienne,
I'll miss you sincerely. This has been a tough week, and I know the road to healing my heart will be long. Many people were watching the Super Bowl game on Sunday. They were looking for the perfect football pass, I was praying for the death angel to do a pass over and not take you. When the doctor came in with his last report, I wanted to push a rewind button and replay time back far enough so that we could still have you with us. However, life can't be controlled with a remote....
I thank God for all the laughs and smiles that you've enhanced us with. Remembering you when you were happy eases my pain of losing you here on earth. The wind has been blowing extremely strong this week. In my mind, I'm imagining that you're flying around planting "farewell kisses" on everyone's cheek. Thank you for being such a joy in my life.
I'll love you always,
Aunt Lisa
"I will always remember your great laugh and smile. I enjoyed having you in my second grade class, but most of all I enjoyed you coming into my daughter's life by being her baby-sitter with Amanda."
Missy Ingles
"Although I only knew you for a very short period of time, you taught me so much about life. You always seemed to have a smile on your face even on the roughest of days. You will be missed dearly! We love you, Adrienne!"-
Whitney W.
Adrienne was a good friend to all. She taught us all a little something. And I hope everyone will always remember her smile and great laugh. We will all miss her.

To the parents of Adrienne,
At this time, so close to the death of a loved one, especially a child, it is hard to be satisfied knowing that we pass through this life so we can go back to our Father in Heaven and live a glorious life in eternity.
We know it is a life full of happiness. We know that we should be happy for those who go beyond the vail where their spirit will wait for the day our mortal bodies will reunite with our souls.
It is hard, but after we have time to reflect on the joy we have had with our children, parents and family, we can then thank God that he has seen fit to take our loved one in His arms and hold her and keep her from all the hurts and pains of the world.
I believe that there was a premortal life when our spirits were created in heaven and we lived there with God. I believe that we come to earth to attain a mortal body. I believe that while we are here, we prove ourselves and get baptized. We gain knowledge, we learn to love and have joy. I believe that when we have accomplished what God sent us here to do, we can go home. Adrienne has done all she needed to do.
Your child is waiting for you and all her family to return home. Live your life to the fullest. Enjoy the things God created. You will return to your Father just as Adrienne has. You will be a complete family again.
My eyes cry for you, my heart rejoices in Adrienne's triumph.
