She did her job as an ambassador to Christ, a wife to grandpa, a mother to her 3 sons and a haven to her grandchild. I have never had a bad memory of her. If she ever crossed your path in life, then your life was made better because of it. My heart is heavy today, but only because I love."

Dear Family of Rosie Frederick,
Rosie was a special person. I, too, have very fond memories of the years they spent in Reese. I will never forget the time we talked each other into having our ears pierced. We went out to dinner in Saginaw and then went to the Mall and were chided the whole time by Rev. Frederick and Walt. But we did it anyhow. Rosie always was cheerful. Steve, I remember the times you spent with your grandparents. It is hard to believe that the years have gone by and you are now a man. You were such a cute little guy. I wish I could come to the visitation but I will be in Big Rapids caring for a sister-in-law who is battling cancer. May God comfort you during these days.

To the family of Rosie Fredrick. I have a lot of great memories from when they served the Reese United Methodist Church is Reese. Played games with them. Rev. Fredrick married us, Howard had been gone 7 1/2 years. They helped me pull of a surprise 50th birthday party for Howard. My parents Earl and Irene Bauman went to Iron Mountain and met them before they came to Reese, Dad passed 8 years ago and mom just passed Nov 3rd, 09. They were both a blessing to all of us. I have to work and probably will not be able to attend the showing or service but all of you will be in my prayers. Kathleen Johnson Reese Michigan.
