Frieda's smile will be missed. Prayers for all the family. Someone shared this with me and I hope sharing it will help all dealing with grief.
Try to think of Frieda boarding a ship for a wonderful trip. You cannot see the land on the other side but you are all waving goodbye. On the other side of the water all the loved ones of that person are standing there waiting to welcome her into their arms and their hearts.

Andy, both you and Freida were such good friends to my folks and I want to thank you for that. Probably Freida is hearing the Woody Woodpecker call in heaven:) I'm positive that Frieda would like you to continue to take good care of yourself so grieve but stay strong and positive.
