Dear Jimmy and Ronnie,
So so sad to hear about Frida. She was my babysitter when I was a little girl and later my boss at Parliament Insurance Company. Way ahead of her time for women in the work place. My mother adored Frida, and we did too. Lifelong mutual admiration between the Preis's and Litke's. I still smile at the mention of her name. My sincere condolences to your entire family.
Love, Arlene Preis Cohen
