My Aunt Freida was always a positive inspiration to me and my family. She has always been a great support to me with a listening ear and honest advice and encouragement. I will miss our long conversations concerning our loved ones that are gone and our love for southern food. A strong woman and a classy lady. Forever in my heart. Debra Bartley Weeks and Family

To the Royden Family: My heartfelt sympathies go out to the family and friends during this difficult time. I hope that the promise in 1 Thessalonians 4:14 can bring comfort. Knowing that there's a hope for the ones we have lost in death can be so reassuring.

To the funniest, sweetest, and kindest lady I've had the honor of knowing for the past 48 years.

The world is a little duller with your bright light gone, Freida. And, yet better is heaven!

What a blessing you have been to all who were fortunate to know you,

Memories will always be golden when words and thoughts of you are remembered.

Rest ... love and laugh FOREVER!!! Joy always:)

Freida was my alter ego. She always kept me centered and kind. Freida never said a bad word about anyone and truly loved every living thing. She floated through life with grace and a giggle as previously mentioned. Twinkle was beaming in her upper lip at all times. She helped me get through some unique experiences. She truly loved you all. I will miss my buddy.
