Dear Scott and Sherry, I was sorry to hear of Aunt Freda's death. My brother David shared the news. When we visited Maine 5-6 years ago, we had a delightful visit with her in her home. Our prayers are with you at this time.

Among my fondest childhood memories are those of my visits to Aunt Freda and sleepovers with cousin Sherry. Thinking about her witty personality and seeing her face in my mind's eye as I remember her from back when make me smile. It's been years since I last saw her once my husband and I moved to the west coast but I am there in spirit today. A piece of her will always be with me through the wonderful art work that she created with her whimsical tole painting. As one crafter to another - I hope she's happily doing her thing now. With love....

Some of my happiest childhood memories are of vising the home of my Aunt Freda and Uncle Leigh. Whenever I think of Aunt Freda, I immediately think of her lovely smile, her buoyant personality and her ready wit. I know that my mother considered her a sister, not a sister-in-law. How lucky we are to have been able to number her among our loved ones!
With love and prayers,

Please know that you are in my thoughts at this difficult time. Freda and I worked side-by-side at Keyes/Chinet and we had many good times. She was a great lady and I will miss her Christmas cards greatly.
