We were so sad to hear about the passing of your mom. We always enjoyed her visits out here in Sask. Mom and I were just talking about the trip we made out to Ont to see her and what an enjoyable time we had. Fredo and Howard made us feel so welcome!
sincerely and with our deepest sympathy, Phyliss Hall, Barbara Nuttall (Hall) Janie Martin(Hall) and Judy Chafe(Hall)
Condolence From: Otto & Brenda Smale
Our sympathy to all family members. We will certainly miss her. Otto and I spent time with her in August and had a great visit, even though she had aged, she still had her sense of humour. We have missed her not coming to Manitoba the last number of years. Unfortunately we are unable to attend her funeral as we were only notified yesterday, but we are with you in spirit. Love and prayers from Ot & Brenda

Eleanor,Margaret,Ivan and families: We are deeply sadden at the new of your mother’s passing. Freda remined me of a quote: ” I expect to pass throught this world but once, any good therefore that I can do let me do it now, for I shall not pass this way again.” Freda did just that she was fun to be around and would do anything to help. She was a joy to talk to and always had a great sence of humor. My mom Elsie enjoyed every moment with Freda and they keeped in contact over many years until my mother’s passing. We will miss Freda, and I know she will be surely missed by anyone who knew her. Our deepest sympathy to all of you on your mother’s passing.
