She loved you both so much and those grand children were loved beyond words. May God cover you with His comfort and peace. Til we all meet her again....what a great reunion. God bless you!

Chris / Mr. Jerry -
Mrs. Freida was a special lady and such a huge part of all of our lives growing up. Those ball games and road trips in high school wouldn't have ever been the same w/out her!! I won't ever forget her smile and can still hear her laugh to this day. Just like everyone else, I'm going to hang onto those memories for the rest of my life and never forget how blessed I am to have had the chance to know her. I know it's hard right now but take comfort in knowing that one day we will all see her again.
Love you guys,
