Sue & family,
Idell was a wonderful mother and person. She was impeccably dressed for all occasions, even going to the grocery store. I always admired her for wanting to look her best no matter where she was going. I know these last 10 years were tough but she is at rest now and can again be the person she was or anything she wants to be. She had a blessed life and wonderful children and grandchildren. She will be missed by so many people but I know you all have such great memories.
May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.
Love,
Joy, Bonnar, Trey, Amber and Drew

Sue, Jack and families:
I am so sorry about the loss of your wonderful mother. She is the last of our Windham family. You were so lucky to have Mrs. Brown as your mom. Every morning she made delicious breakfasts that included all the things that everyone else in the neighborhood wanted. Your mom and my dad shared the same birthday in March and the whole neighborhood celebrated. I feel like all the moms were our moms. I will miss her and wish you peace.
Love,
Diane (McSweeney) Clow and Family
