Fifteen years since you have passed, and I miss you just as much today. I remember your smile, your laugh, your strength and introspective words of encouragement. You understood me as no one else ever has. I hope that I am worthy enough to join you and Jim in the afterlife; that we can greet our beloved equine companions, and ride the meadows and woodlands once again for eternity.

Your friend,
Nancy Oct. 27, 2024

One year later, I miss you even more. You were like a Mom to me. Your memory will never fade from my heart. I am a better person because you helped me so much, I am privileged to have been your friend.
With Love,
Nancy

May you all take comfort from the memories of the good times. We all will miss her but now we know she is free from pain and we will all have a special guardian angel watching over us. Frieda was always like family to me and my family. Even though she always spoke her mind, you knew it came with love. I am sure we all will miss that.

Frieda, my dear friend, how much I will miss you. You gave me encouragement during the dark days in my life, and tried to "knock some sense into me" when I wasn't thinking clearly. It was so wonderful to share my love of horses with you and with Jim. I know how you have suffered since losing Jim, and struggled with your own failing health. You were never a quitter and I'm certain you are with God and can rest now. My deepest condolences to your family. I hope we will meet again someday.
