What a life well-lived for others - kind, generous, hard-working, fun. Her love and hospitality laid many of the family values that my own family share today. The joy of her infectious laughter resonates still. She will be long remembered and greatly missed. We love you Aunty Freda! :) The way the world's going I hope to catch up again very soon.

Sending hugs and warm thoughts to all the Family. I have many memories of Aunty Frilly arriving with Uncle Larry singing away and all the kids hopping out of the car coming to stay at the farm when we were kids. Our families had many times together in our younger years. I remember her as always happy and smiling and ready to listen - and even happy to attend our 'shows'. Thoughts are with you all today - my special bunch of cousins who I hold dear! Uncle Larry - you were blessed to have her by your side for all those years - sending love and support xo
