My deepest sympathies to the Friesen family. Mrs. Friesen was my very first Sunday School teacher at SCUMC when my family arrived at SCUMC in Sept 1965. We had just made a transition from Vineland to St. Catharines to tap into the stronger use of German. I was still missing my friends when I said to Mrs. Friesen, "I am not happy that we left Vineland. I will go back one day." As a seven year, I could not have imagined that my words would turn out to be prophetic. Her warmth and care as a SS teacher delayed my return to Vineland for 11 years. May you feel the presence of God's peace as you gather as a family to mourn your loss and celebrate the life of a special person. - Ted Fransen, Morden, MB
