Amy Ferezan wrote a sympathy message

“I’m so sorry to hear the passing of Mrs Frederick. She was one of the most influential teachers I’ve had in my life. Spending all 4 years of high school in choir with her. She was apart of a lot of my high school memories. I will always remember her sparkly dresses for concerts. The threat of making us run laps around the busses if we didn’t go to sleep on trips. She was one great lady who truly cared for her students. Deepest sympathies to family and friends.”

Tracy Micknowski wrote a sympathy message

“I am truly heartbroken to hear this sad news. Mrs. Frederick was more than a choir teacher to most of us. She was a mentor and friend through some of life's most troubling years. You get pretty close spending time together rehearsing and going on competition trips. She was fierce in class but she loved each of us and cared in a way no other teacher did. I learned much more from her than singing. I learned to be a better person. My condolences to Mr. F. Tracy Mellinger”

Jordan Liebert wrote a sympathy message

“Words cannot describe the sadness I felt reading about mrs. Fredricks death. She was an amazing lady and an amazing teacher. I looked up to her so much and I know alot of my classmates did as well. She loved each student she taught so much and enjoyed what she did! My deepest condolences to her friends and family, I'm so sorry for your loss. She will always have a place in my heart. I'm sure all of the 2009 choir class agrees.”

Mindy Brooks wrote a sympathy message

“Mrs. Frederick was the most amazing, influential, heartfelt teacher that I ever had. She inspired everyone not only musically, but in every aspect of life. The passion that Mrs. Fredrick had for music and teaching was evident in every music class. I will never forget all the concerts she conducted, countless hours of getting students ready for Honors Choirs, traveling in tour buses, etc. She was so dedicated to her craft and even helped guide my decision in going into music education.”

I still have friends today from all those years ago in choir. Class of 1999!! She is singing in the angels choir now!!”

“Please accept our most heartfelt sympathies to your family. Mrs. Frederick mentored so many of us, her students, & treated every one of us with respect, fairness, compassion & love.

May you all find hope & strength as you grieve ... many blessings to you, as she gave us too many to count! Nicole (Brittner) Salvo (class of '91)”
