Dear Goodwin Family,
I am sorry to hear of Fred's death. Fred and I worked in the Natural Church Development Training. He was my coach while I was serving at Beaver Dam. Always enjoyed Fred's sense of humor and his encouraging smiles. You have struggled much through these past months. May you feel the loving arms of strength that come from friends, family and most of all Christ Jesus as you are surrounded in His love.

Jan and family, I was the nurse who had the privilege of caring for Mr. Goodwin in his final hours and I just wanted you to know that your family has been in my thoughts and prayers. He was so blessed to have such a wonderful, caring family and I know he knew you were all there with him. After reading about his life, I can only imagine the countless people whose lives he touched and helped. I will be praying for peace and comfort for you all. God bless you all.
