Freddie trained me in the early 1980's to be a travel agent. I still use those skills she taught me to this day. She was a perfectionist and a classy lady. My sincere condolences to the family.

Freddie Gayle, I remember when your mom would call your name when it was time to come in from play. Remember when we got our matching purple Schwinn bikes with the fancy gears and hand brakes? You were my good friend and you will be missed on this earth. May you rest in peace. Sherry (Tackett) Faure
