  31. Dear Bob & Family, I was shocked when I read of Freda’s passing. You must be devastated with this loss of dear Freda and I understand from Mabel Bryden that you were very close. I worked at the Red Cross with her and remember her as a good friend and I met you while there. Mabel told me of Freda’s illness and Paula Davidson’s visit with her. I met your Jeff when he was a baby. Mabel and I visisted Freda once when you lived in Thornhill Subdivision–a long time ago. I knew you retired from the CBC to Greenfield. Over the years since then, our paths just didn’t pass.
    You, your three children, granddaughter & her sisters willmiss her terribly. My condolences go to all and I know God will help you through this sorrow. One day, we who love the Lord Jesus, will join her and see our Saviour fact to face. Ruth Havill

  32. Eleanor and I are sorry to hear of Fredas passing. Your strong family will pull you through it all.
    God Bless.

  36. It was with heartfel sorrow that Mom & I heard of Fredas’ passing. There are so many wonder memories that came flooding back for both of us. Our days in Thornhill Park, Calvery Baptist Church, even long walks up to Rocking Stone with the dogs in tow. We both said we can still see her warn smiling face in our hearts and minds. I can still see her at our wedding shower 29 years ago and we still have and use the beautiful wooden salad set Mr. & Mrs. Theakston gave us. And you know I always think of them when we use it. We know your sorrow is great, time dosn’t dull the pain, you just learn to adjust to it. and memories are a wonderful thing.
