This is why I choose Freddie as my Best Man. We met 25 years ago, and to this day he has been a true brother. Even though he is not my biological brother, within my heart I value him as we have created a brotherhood that can never be broken . Freddie is a good leader, he gives good advice and is very understanding. He’s not a judgmental person. We have had our ups and downs, but our brotherhood will never be broken. I am honored that God crossed our paths on this life’s journey. Freddie will give you the shirt off his back. He’s an upstanding guy. Freddie loves to spend time with his horses, watch sports and loves to dilly dally in the kitchen. He is an avid Dallas Cowboys fan and even has Dallas Cowboys paintings on his truck. Silver and blue all the way for this native of Dallas, Texas. I chose Freddie to stand up with me at this special moment because he truly a good brother. I couldn’t ask for a better friend. Thank you my brother! MJ
