Don, Tracey, Dean, Michelle and family, we are so sorry for your loss. Ida was a very special lady and we have fond memories of her genuine smile and friendly spirt. She was a big part of making Millwoods church a wonderful place to grow up as a child. It is hard to see members of this wonderful generation leave us. Take comfort knowing that there will be a wonderful reunion in heaven.

So very sorry for your loss. Mrs Kalke was very special to us and someone we always described as "classy". We were privileged to bump into her twice in the last few months and now fondly remember those simple chats. Know that we continue to pray for all of you.
