The first time I met Frieda, she was dancing with Ken and I swear their feet never touched the ground!
Frieda was such a joyful and happy person who loved her large extended family so much. She always accepted life’s ups and downs and had the ability to carry on no matter what came her way.
I am grateful that life granted me a chance to meet this incredible lady.
