Prayers & my deepest condolences to Ms. Freda's family. I loved this beautiful DIVA more than words can explain, it hurt me more than I could put into words, when I heard that she had transitioned, she's truly going to be missed by me, I so enjoyed our precious talks & laughs...This beautiful, Blessed woman had a smile that could light you up on any given day! Her advice to me was oh so Priceless & I valued every single word she spoke to me from out of her precious heart to mine. I could go on & on about this beautiful Angel, as I type this, I smile & cry at the same time. Ms. Freda to me was an absolute jewel. I'm truly going to miss her.

My dearest friend, classmate and home girl, I have known you for 70 years. We began as child classmates at the St. Paul's Episcopal Church kindergarten, from there we attended elementary school and High School at Albert Harris. We were the final class to graduate before the schools were ordered to integrate. Many of us moved on, went to college, went to work and many moved away to begin our journey as adults. You were one of a few who strived to keep us connected with a 10 and 20 reunion. Your kind loving and caring spirit was always the same. My heart aches at the loss of your earthly body but know that Heaven has a "TRUE ANGEL". Condolences to your amazing children, grandchildren and family. I will be there in spirit.
