Taking care of Freddie during her stay in Friendship Circle was such a honor. Every day was an adventure with her, and it was something I always looked forward to. I loved her jokes, her sassiness, her kind heart, and how she loved to pick on everyone. I loved everything about her. She reminded me of my own grandmother in a way, so she will always hold a special place in my heart. It certainly won´t be the same without her at Chapel Pointe. Freddie was definitely one of a kind!

We were neighbors across the street from Freddie and Bob in the Summerfield development, I always enjoyed seeing the latest beautiful quilt that she was making to give to family members, she always talked so lovingly about her family, now she is at peace and in heaven with Bob.
