My prayers are with you. Freda and I were roommates and running buddies at VSU along with Debbie and Gracie. I have fond memories of her and the white Nova she use to drive. I looked for her during the years and finally caught up with her about 2 months ago, I am so glad I did. May God keep you.

To Reggie and the Snead Family,
I was just thinking of Freda recently and laughing to myself about our college days at VSC. We shared some good times. She will always have a special place in my heart and I will cherish the memories of our escapades with Debbie, Gracie and Faye.
You are in my prayers.

To the Snead Family,
It has been years since I've seen or spoken to Freda but she and I were roommates for a time at VSC and I have thought of her often over the years. I've heard it said that the brightest light burns out the fastest and Freda was a "bright light". She will be remembered always for her warm welcoming smile and I'll cherish the time that she was in my life. May God keep you in your hour of bereavement.

The Snead Family, We are truly sorry for your emptiness in your heart. Freda a faithful member of Mt Olive Baptist Church. And gratefully smilled always. Not only have you lost a family member, but we have also. Our prayers are always before the Lord on your behalf.
We can't bring her back, but we can go to where she is. Remain steadfast in the Lord.. Know that joy will come in the morning. We do not know how long the night will be, but have faith to know that moring will come. God truly loves you and he will take care of you. Don't focus on the fact that she is gone, but focus on the fact that God allow her the opportunity to be a part of our lives.
Much love and support....Deacon Edward and Janet Jefferson (MT Olive Baptist Church)

Dorothy and family,
I sincerely regret your loss but remember G-d knows best in all matters. He gave us our lives and we did nothing to deserve it. He provided and cared for us and asked nothing except our devotion. My life has been enriched by my experience you and your brother "Al" as i remember playing with you guys at your grandfather's house on Mountain Rd as children. My prayers are with you and the family as you work through this difficult time.

May the memories that you hold dear help you through this difficult time and may those same memories bring a smile to your face and joy to your heart in the future, She is now doing well in the house of the LORD and is now your angel. I remember the good times we had as teens together and how she was always happy and smiling--those are the memories I will hold on to. God bless you all and know HE is there to see you through.
