One of the earliest memories I have in my life are the days when Lida would babysit me, I believe I must of been between 1 and 3 years old ( I am now 29). I remember our morning drives to the farms in Rehoboth to see the cows and the pond to see the ducks. She would sing nursery rhymes to me and I would sing along. There are many more memories with her that will be with me for a lifetime and I will always cherish them. I have to believe along with my parents and other relatives, she helped shaped me into the person I am today, and I will always be thankful. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.
