Freda was a loyal friend and bridge partner to my late mother, Bernice Cooke (1918-1920). She very kindly kept in touch with my Mom & I, after my mother went into long term care. She also connected Mom with Nick, a gardener, who was always so helpful & still works in the neighbourhood. The game of bridge created lasting friendships & I appreciated Freda for her care & concern. Congratulations on a long life well lived.
