With a full heart and rich memories, I extend to you all my most sincere condolences.  Knowing Marie is lovingly received heavenward and you are lovingly embraced here still does not ease your pain  right now, and we who love you grieve with you.  As this difficult time goes forward, may you feel the Strength and the Holy Presence of our Sustaining Holy Father.  In Christ, Rita Hunter

I extend to you my deepest and heartfelt love and sympathy in the (I'll say passing not loss for we know where she is) of Marie Frese, Wife,Mother,Grandmother, Great Grandmother and Friend of many. What a wonderful person and Christian she was.  We don't understand God's will for our lives sometimes, but we don't question it.  His will is perfect and always on time.  My prayer is that all can find strength and peace to carry on and know she is in a far better place.  And as Christians we will see her again.    Love and Sympathy to you all, Jean Buchanan

I want to express my sympathy to the Frese  Family and also to Mr Hawkins,  Mrs Marie was such a kind and compassionate person to so many.  She loved my children so much she was their Sunday School teacher at State Highway Baptist.  And she treated our family with so much love, thank you Mrs Frese.  You will always be in our hearts and always in our minds. Your smile and your voice and your christian way will forever be instilled in us. RIP.  LOVED BY SO MANY

As a dear friend of Marie's daughter, Debbie, I had many visits with her to Marie's home for special meals (and she was a wonderful cook) or just social visits.  Those were very special times which I truly enjoyed.   

My heartfelt prayers are said for each and every one of her family members.   Take time to reflect, recall and appreciate your memories.   May you find peace, hope and love in God's Holy blessings.  

Much Love, Linda Benter

Marie was my ex employer and friend. I worked for her and George for about 12 yrs. They were both kind people and made working for them a pleasure. I moved to Alabama so we lost touch for awhile but when I move back to Tampa Marie and I connected again. It was like we had always been around each other. She was a fine Christian Wife, Mother and Grandmother. Proud to call her my friend. I will miss her but will see her again


Mrs. Frese was special. I used to love going up to Quality with my Poppie or Nena to get our meats, cuban bread, and maybe Gustafson chocolate milk (if I was behaving that day haha). Even during the leaner times we faced, she always looked out my sister and I and made sure my Mother had what she needed to feed and take care of us. I’ll never forget that as long as I live. She was literally one of the kindest people I ever met and I will miss her and regret not making sure our paths crossed more as life went on over the years. She was an original, graceful, and a true southern lady and matriarch. People like Mrs. Marie, they leave a mark on you forever effortlessly, and I’ll carry not only the fond memories I have of her, but the example she set forth simply by being her. To David, Alise and the entire family…My heart goes out to you all and I wish you nothing but healing and peace. I hope you all find comfort and strength in the memories you have of her and know above all else she’s no longer beholden to the ills of this world. She’s home now. Much love and thoughts, -Stevie Joe

I remember going to Quality when we where kids my mom would take us on the weekends to get our meat. My husband Mike Faulkner worked there as a teenager I went there a lot with Mike before we got married we had invited them to the wedding but of course that was a busy day for them so after our ceremony we were going to the reception and stopped at Quality to see everyone they were surprised Marie and their Family were important to us and still are so sorry for your Loss you are in our Prayers.
