One Response
Elsie Frieder was one of the dearest ladies it has ever been my privilege to know. We shared many happy hours together while we were neighbors, and more than a few telephone visits since I moved away.
My thoughts tonight are with her family, whose love and devotion to her were a beautiful tribute to her. She loved all of them without measure.
She will never be forgotten. She shared her love with so many on earth, and will one day enjoy the blessings of God’s love in eternal happiness.
To Betty and Ed – May you find peace and comfort in knowing that you made her so happy with your loving care. God bless you and your families.
