My first memory of moving down here from PA is actually of Frisky. She came down to introduce herself to us and make friends. Then she introduced us to her family, and we became friends with Dot, Woody, Mondy, Pam and Mark. Dot made our transition from north to south so very smooth. She was my childhood, in and out of her house and ours. All these years later, I can still hear her voice in my head yelling at us to quit running back and forth, letting flys in. lol. She was my youth, and I remember her so lovingly. A good friend to mom, mark and kelly so tight growing up. Time moves on, and we move away, and look back on very strong memories. Such a wonderful woman, mother, wife, grandmother. Losing a parent is never easy, initial grief will dull, but never fade. Dad is gone 14 years now, and still it stabs sometimes. When it pokes at you Mondy, Pam and Mark, ALWAYS remember your mom as the strong loving woman that she was, and that you will be together some day. Love Hilda and Holly The Deitrich's
