Joe and family, We sorrow with you at the loss of Aunt Freda. We cherish the time we did spend with aunt Freda. She was a wonderful lady. Now with no more pain and suffering there must be a wondrous family reunion going on in heaven, without the constraints of time or distance of this world! Joe, you are in our prayers. May Jesus comfort you and your family with eternal assurance only he can give. Here is a giggle thought for you, Aunt Freda is teaching her sister Loretta how to bowl, they get to bowl a 300 game every time.

Christina and family,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. Although, it is hard right now, you must know that she would want you all to keep your heads up high and keep going. I used to hang out with Freda's step-daughter Christina years ago as teenagers and we used to swim in her pool. She was a good women. We will all have special memories of her forever. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.
