It is so sorrowful to hear of the death of Freda. It was so nice to know the Tomblin family when attending Chapmanville High School and eating lunch at their establishment. Many fond memories also of her husband and son during those wonderful years. Freda will surely be missed in the community and our family. God will surely welcome her into his land of milk and honey. My prayers go out for the family.
