Freida lived her life for her family. She was the rock and the glue that bound the family together. Our very foundation. She was as selfless as she was loving and nurturing. A great whit with her one-liners that kept you on your toes and always giving everyone a reason to laugh and smile. She was the life of the party in her apartment complex on card game night. To know her was to love her. She had a strength of character as strong as steel and never let anything in life keep her down. She will be remembered well by everyone as she touched everyone’s life in the best ways possible. Her strength, vitality and love of life was absolutely contagious and you couldn’t help but be happy in her presence. She will be truly missed!
