    Bob, and Family,

    Having gone through the loss of my Wife just over two years ago I’m certain I know how you’re feeling just now, but in the weeks and months ahead you will find comfort in thinking about the happy times and wonderful recollections of them, as you review your fifty six years with Freda at your side. You will find too, that additional love and support will flow from your family as you begin a new phase of your life.

    Best personal regards,

    Bill

    Dear Bob and Family:

    Only a week or so ago, my friend Janet Stevens ( David’s widow) called me to tell me thqt she had heard that Freda wasn’t well but both of us ( and Bill) were so sad to learn of her death.

    One knows that losing such a beloved wife and mother will represent an enormous void in all of your lives, But we are sure Freda must have left you with an extraordinary legacy- priceless memories you will all forever truly treasure.

We will miss her and her smile and we just wanted you to know how sorry we are.

    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

    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. Please know your entire family is in our hearts and prayers – may God’s greace be with you now and as you go forward with out your wonderful wife, mother grantdmother, sister and aunt.

    To Freda’s family we extend our deepest simpathy on this great loss. Freda was such a strong influence on not just family but others as well. She always wore a warm smile which, at times, I’m sure, disguised any hurt or discomfort she had inside. Bob, I know the pain you feel and your memories will give you comfort in the days and years ahead. God’s peace is such a blessing to get you and the family through this.

    Our prayers will continue for all of you in the days ahead.

    Bless you all,

    Doug & Billie
