Memories and Condolences

I had only known Freyda and her 2 daughters for a short time. We first met in the Interventional Radiology Post Op area at Northwestern Memorial Hospital on the day of my admission for a Stem Cell Transplant and a week before Freydas. During our long stay in the hospital, Freyda and the girls would walk the floor and Freyda would peak her head into my room. Her warm smile and words of encouragement helped me more than she could ever know. She was an inspiration to me and I thought of her often. Even after our discharges, we spoke on a few occasions and as always she was full of kind and positive words. My heart breaks for her family as I know how this sincerely kind and courageous woman will be missed. May the many beautiful memories she leaves bring much comfort to you during this most difficult time.

Fredmans, was so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. If there was one mother who brought me back to my childhood, besides my own mom, it certainly was Freyda. She was so active and visible and the true epitome of all Fredmans, a real mensch. Again, my condolences, hope you are all well.

Dear Yos, Tamar, Giela, and Zev,
Bill, Liz and I want to express our deepest heart-felt sympathy at Freda's passing. Freda was one of the sweetest, most understanding and compassionate women I have ever had the pleasure to know. Though she was suffering through her own health issues, she always had the time to ask how Bill was doing since his stroke and how Liz was dealing with her diabetes and sudden divorce.
She was a wonderful mom and an avid supporter of the Day School. I remember how helpful she was when Tamar was in my 5th-8th grade classes. We had so many years of really "fun" Hannukah dinners! When Tamar's class graduated,it was Freda who helped me organize the Day School's only 8th grade "overnight" field trip to Chicago. I was worried about how we would keep the students Kosher, but Freda and the other moms managed everything by bringing coolers of food and taking us up to the North Side Kosher restaurants in the evening. What a lady!
I am so sorry I could not attend her funeral. I would have liked to be there just to tell you how much her friendship has always meant to me.
Chris, Bill and Liz Mangold

Freyda was a wonderful person. One of the warmest and kindest persons that I have ever known. Every time I came to the store she was always very supportive. You just knew in your heart that she was a true friend. I will always cherish her memory. God's grace and blessing be with Yos and the entire family.

Dearest Yos and family,
There are no words to describe the impact Freyda left this world with. Dynamic in every way, these sad memories will eventually be replaced by all the happy and good ones. Working side by side with her all these years have blessed me with her spirit and devotion for family and life. I will miss her tremendously. L'Rain

How sad I was to hear of dear Freyda's passing. What a lovely classy lady she was. During my father's illness she always made a point of visiting both him and my mother. I remember the lovely Shabbat dinner I had at her house and the warmth she always showed our family. She will be missed by everyone that she touched. Elyse Feinner Perlen (Northbrook, IL)
