Reflections for Corrections Officer Frederick W. Baker
Fred, I'm teaching school now, and during a program sponsored by the Atlantic County Prosecutor's Office, the presenter mentioned you. She was talking with the kids about death row, and your story came up. It was terrible for me to hear the story, but know this: your death, while tragic for all of us who knew you, is helping to teach the kids about how to stay out of prison. You were a role model, and Kelly and your kids should be forever proud of you.

In a few days it will be SCO Fred Baker's 5th anniversary since his death. July is a very hard month for me esp. when it comes close to July 30th. I talked to Fred the night before never knowing that it would the last time. Fred will live in my heart forever, I love you so much.
Love Always,
your sister Kelli
