Needless to say, Freda's family was not quite proud of this relative! Freda didn't wish to disclose these facts for quite some time. But now, she isn't embarrassed anymore. As the old saying goes, "You can choose your friends, but you can't choose your relatives!"
Freda understands that it would be nothing but pride to keep this away from her friends and blog post followers.
As Freda approaches the final days of her life, she felt it was alright to let a list of some of her ancestors be published here. As she sees it; none of them made her who is today, but they contributed to the rich history of her family.
The following, came from a friend, who researched her ancestry.
I have had the pleasure of knowing Freda and being a friend a close friend for about 20 years now. As she is called to be with Jesus, I will certainly miss her sweet smile, her wisdom, and her pleasant personality. But I know that we will continue our friendship, when we meet someday in heaven. If she remains till her birthday, (Feb. 11th) she would be 95 yrs. old.
Please keep us both in your prayers, as she nears her departure date (known only to God).

Freda, I only started reading your stories a while ago, but so enjoy them. You have had a wonderful and amazing life. Al a long line of amazing relatives. Out of all of those a couple wouldn't be bad. Hope you can keep the stories coming. Would love to have known you, you seem to be such a nice and amazing woman. Thank you, Jane
Dear Freda, Thank you for sharing your stories and wisdom with us. I haven't always commented, but I've learned much. Jim and you remain in my prayers.
