Chuck, so sorry for you lose. We will be praying you and your family.
Chuck and Tom, We are so sorry to hear of Aunt Frieda’s passing. She played a large of our lives growing up in Arkansas. She always treated us as one of her own, spanking and all. She was young at heart, was always up for a new adventure, and never met a stranger. Her door was always open to any of us anytime we came by. Willing to help in any way she could if needed. We all have our own favorite memories of her and she will be greatly missed. Our thoughts and prayers go out to each of you and your families.
All Our Love,
Your Cousins,
Lawana, Debbie, John, Jim, and Jacki
Knew Frieda for 50 years. Her love for people and passion for life will be missed. She made a difference in my life and I’m sure others also. We are blessed with memories, life lessons and the gift of knowing Freida. Don’t be late to supper Daddy!!
I hadn’t known Frieda long, but she made me feel very welcome at Nantucket. She was a warm, sweet, feisty lady. I will miss her very much.
Frieda was a delightful, kind, generous woman and a great neighbor at Nantucket. I will miss her very much. I extend my sincere condolences to her family.
