What a wonderful lady my aunt was. Above you see her with her daughter, Judy King of Calgary, Alberta. She was told 21 years ago that she had 6 months to live because of a disease that hardens your lungs. She defied their prognosis and lived life to the fullest, all the while in pain. She was full of laughs, life and had a direct line to God. She was a part of starting the church we now pastor. When Grandpa moved to Wichita Falls to start the church, Freda quit school to go to work and help support them during that time. She played the piano for church, all three songs that she knew! Her sacrifice is now a blessing to my family and everyone else who attends Life Tabernacle, Wichita Falls, Texas.
Our love and sympathy go to her two surviving daughters and her husband. Thankfully, my wife and I were able to go with Dad (her brother) and Mom to see her on Friday. She knew we were there and we had a time of prayer. She passed away the next morning. We will travelling to Fort Worth this afternoon to be with them for the visitation tonight and the service tomorrow.
Swing wide the pearly gates, she's home!

Gene....thank you for the true words concerning my Mom!
What a lady....what a lady...what a lady!!
She will be greatly missed by many!
I pray I can be even half the lady she was!
I am so sorry about Freda. I grew up across the alley from the Green's when I was a young girl. They lived on Dodge St. I lived on Cole St. I went to church with them and played with them. In fact I called Freda 2 yrs. ago and talked to her. My name was Cynthia Ross.
