My sincere sympathy to the family.
Freda (or "Cruise Lady" as I liked to call her) was such a fun and energetic woman! Every time I saw her she would have another story to tell, and her wit and sense of humor would have everyone laughing (or blushing, lol)! I really enjoyed comparing cruise stories with her, and she encouraged me to live life to the fullest and enjoy every minute! We had always planned to meet up with her at the lake. I will miss her, but every time I think of her I will be smiling!

Freda you will be missed. I was shocked to hear the news but glad I was able to see you and talk with you Monday-only you called me the "bug lady". To Freda's family. You are in my thoughts and prayers.
