I write this with a heavy heart because Ida and I have been best friends since 3rd grade in Greenup School.We went through school together until graduating. Even though Ida then married and traveled the world with Norm, we always remained friends. Ida would return to Greenup and stay with me for our class reunions. I visited Ida for her 50th wedding anniversary in Pharr Texas. I will always love Ida and have a lot of good memories. I hope she is with Norm and all her loved ones in Paradise.

Our sympathy goes out to Ida's family. What a lovely little lady Ida was, always so full of life. We were Ida's neighbours at Plantation in Pharr and will forever remember Ida.

Our sincere sympathy to Ida's family. We met Ida and her husband Norman many years ago while walking at La Plaza Mall. As square dancers as well as walkers we enjoyed their company. We were very sorry recently when we learned that Ida had broken her hip and so sorry that she was not able to recover from this. She was a very friendly, cheerful person and will be greatly missed.
