    I think of all of you today and wish I could be with you. I told Mom to put the coffee on and get out the banana bread because Frieda was on her way. They had many wonderful visits, usually every Friday when mom was in Ill. I have also enjoyed many great visits with "Auntie" and I will miss her beautiful smile. Love to all.

    I worked with Frieda quite a few years ago at the Sunset Rest in Rutland. Also she did many birthday cakes for me for my children as they were growing up.I really thought a lot of her. My son works at the nursing home & informed me of her passing. Your family has my deepest sympathy. Mary Gross
