Our sincere and heartfelt condolences to all of Frieda’s family. My wife and I first met Frieda many years ago when we were setting up my mother’s new apartment prior to her moving into the House of the Good Shepard. A bit apprehensive of her move to a new community, we assured my mother that she would love her new neighbor. And that she did! And that they both did. From day one, Frieda and my mother became special friends for the remaining years of their lives. From the start of their close friendship there was not a day that passed that they didn’t visit with each other. Dear Frieda, thanks for being such a special friend to our mother and thanks for being a fiend to all of us. With love and remembrance.
