Sorry for your lost
I am so sorry to hear of Freda's battle with Alzheimer's and her passing. Although i have not seen her in a long time, I still think about her all the time. Especially when leave work at CHDC and go to the back parking lot where she and I used to park (she always said her car didn't get dinged as much back there) and check all my tires to make sure i don't have a flat ( i've always called the doing the Freda). And i still remember her very fondly when i make my fruit salad and put in the bowl she gave me for Christmas one year. I know she will be missed and my thoughts and prayers go out to each member of her family.
Please accept my condolences on your loss of Freda. She was a wonderful lady and I enjoyed working with her at CHDC and we remained friends after her retirement. May the the memories of her give you strength and comfort during this time of loss.
I worked with Mrs. Garrett at CHDC for many years. She was a sweet, kind person. She will be missed.
