I was sorry to hear about Aunt Mary's passing. I had just seen her a few weeks back. I went up to her and gave her a hug. I asked her how she was doing ..and we had a nice chat. Like always Mary had a nice smile on her face and she seemed happy. I am so glad I took the time to go over and talk with her. My thoughts are with the family.
Dear Sara and family-
Words cannot express what you are going through. No one can ease it like the Lord. May His comfort, love, and presence be with you and your loved ones continually during this time. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

To the Friedt family: We were certainly surprised and saddened to hear about Mary. Out thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family. We were neighbors on 11th street in the Good Life Park in Mesa for six years. We really enjoyed visiting with the folks at our block parties and whenever we were together. Bob and Diane Porath, Olivia, MN.
To all of the Friedt family, I enjoyed your parents a great deal--they lived across the street from us at Good Life. Your mom was so lively and always doing something. She brought us "goodies" a number of times. My prayers will be with you, as well as for your dad.
