I'm so sorry for your loss! Michael Freeman please call me 205 863 9062

We were deeply saddened to hear of Roosevelt's passing. He and my dad, Julius Clark, were the best of friends and talked almost daily until his death in Feb. 2020. We will forever appreciate the special friendship they shared and the compassion and concern he showed our family in the aftermath of Dad's passing. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with the family🙏🏽❤️

I am so sorry God called for you. But he knows what is best. Gonna miss our talks every few days. Angela will have to take your place with our talks. Love you and will definitely miss you. You will be in great company. Keep a watch over us. Angela, Anthony and Michael so very sorry for your lost. He lived his family so much. You all are in my heart. Love ❣️ very much. Your cousin, Brenda

I lost contact with Roosevelt years ago simply because of my inconsideration. He was very close to his Aunt Honey (my grandmother), his cousin Felicia (my mother), and his cousin Tanya (my sister). I wandered off into the world and didn't stay in touch as I should have. My sister, Tanya, would keep me informed about him over the years. He was a needed presence in their lives and I love him for that. My sincere sympathy for his family. Stephan (Mickey) Hunter, Covington, Ga.

Mr. Roosevelt was such sweet man with a sweet, gentle, quiet spirit. His kind words and beautiful energy will transcend time. He was my friend although generations of age were between us. Sending love and light from the both of us. Adrienne & Leya Scales (Kennesaw, GA)

I met Mr. Freeman many years ago my first week of starting out in Home Health. I was taking over the Homewood area from his previous nurse and was in training. From there a beautiful friendship arose. I saw him three days a week for an entire year. We had many conversations. He was so intelligent and wise. His voice was so calming. I intentionally saved him for last because his visits would feed my soul. He loved his family and they all treated me with such kindness that comforted me every time I would visit. It felt like home. I want to thank you all. Mr. Freeman was loved. I am so happy he was able to move back to his hometown and have more precious time with the ones he loved most. I pray that God provides you all comfort and strength. Just know that he and your family will always have a special place in my heart. Love Jennifer Collier

My deepest and sincere condolences to Michael, Angela and Anthony. Roosevelt was one of the sweetest guys in the world. I'll never forget our talks an checking on each other. God has gained a true angel in Heaven. May his soul Rest In Peace. Love you Guy's.. Wanda J. Richardson and Family ❤️

My heartfelt condolences to my cousin Roosevelt's family. He will be forever in our hearts. Tanya and Alfred Morton

My condolences to the Freeman family. What was once enjoyed and deeply loved, we can never lose. For all that we love deeply become part of us. Ramona Hunter Longmont, Colorado

My sincerest Condolences to Angela, Michael, Anthony and other members of the Freeman family. Please know that others mourn with you at the loss of your father and our friend. May you find peace in knowing that he loved you all more than any thing else in the world. Be comforted in knowing that Roosevelt is now at peace where he abides in Heaven with the Lord. Charlie "Chuck" Varner, Jr., Montgomery, Alabama
