To the family of Frieda,
Frieda was a very special lady. I knew her from Williams College and then we kept in contact. We always spoke German and I took her to a few German dinners from the German Club at the High School. She was fun to be around. Let her rest in peace.

I was very sorry to hear that Frieda had passed. I had many conversations with her through the years and she would make me laugh. She also reminded me, at times, when Cliffs birthday was and how old he would be --they were born in the same month and year. May God bless her and you in this sad time.

To Frieda's family,
My sincere sympathy for your loss. I always enjoyed working with Frieda the few times she was at the President's House at Williams. She was a great worker and a pleasure to be around.

To the family of Ms "Frieda" Taff. It saddened me to hear Frieda pass on this week.I worked with Frieda from the time she started at the college and into her retirement.She was a wonderful and a fun co- worker who in her own special way would keep us young cooks on the ball.(I was in my late twentys early thirtys and thought I knew every think.) we all did!! She would let us know how it really was and boy was she right. I'm still at the college going on 36 years and If it wasn't for Frieda's everydays stories on what life is ahead of us I know I would not have lasted all theese years
at the college.We will miss her. But I know I was lucky to have work with her. Most important I was Blessed to know her and have a space for her in my heart.She may be gone,but she will never be forgotted.As the staff at the college change, the stories get told to the new worker.And Frieda's little advices alway help me by sharing them with and passing it on knowing it will help this person liked she help me. In closing again sorry about your lost God Bless Frieda.

To Frieda's family: Your mom and I had some fun conversations at the library.
She loved her new little red car and would like to chat about her family and our mutual acquaintances at Williams College where I also work. She enjoyed her walks with friends and visits around her home in "downtown Pownal". I was sorry when she had to leave that cozy home and now am very sorry for your loss.
All my best,
Linda Hall, Pownal "neighbor" and director of library

Ellen, Linda, Judy & Bob,
Please accept my sincere condolences on the loss of your mother. She was a wonderful person and had such a great sense of humor. Since growing up I had only seen her once a few years ago and she was still the same person with the big personality. She will be greatly missed.
