Ida was a good friend. She and I graduated from East High together. She was also a good friend to my mom Lucille. Ida will be dearly missed. Her sons and my brother Kevin were also friends. He asked that we let the family know that our prayers are with you.

What a great and good life she lived. She was a great cousin and I loved to talk and share with her. I miss my cousin already. However, something tells me she is in good hands and with great company.

My prayers are with your family. You were like a mother to me and a grandmother to my daughter Courtney we both LOVE YOU VERY MUCH we will miss you so much. But we know you will be looking over us each and everyday. When somebody dies, a cloud turns into an angel and flies up to tell God to put another flower on the pillow.

Ida was an original. Her warmth, loyalty, passion, wisdom, humor, curiousity and candor were unsurpassed. In the early '70s we would spend eight hours working in the same room, then talk for hours on the phone in the evenings. She was my all time favorite "running buddy." Although we had been separated by distance for over 30 years, we could still pick up where we left off in periodic, lengthy phone conversations. My husband, Bob, who wisked me away from Richmond - and Ida - in 1975, also loved Ida. They became great friends and occasional sparing partners. Although we will miss her terribly, we are deeply grateful that she has gifted and graced our lives. We extend our deepest sympathy to Ida's loving family and her multitudes of friends. Know you are being held in our hearts and prayers. A loving friend,
