Dana I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Ms. Ida. That is what I called her. She was so nice and kind to me and my son many years ago when she invited us to be part of your thanksgiving. And your kindness to make it a great day for my son. I will never forget Ms. Ida or you. I pray you are doing well and that God will give you comfort. God bless you and yours Dana.

Tina, Donnie, Steve and all the family, I am so sorry for you loss. I always liked Ida! Somehow I missed the obits for other siblings except Joe, and I am so sorry that I did and so did not respond. Regrettably, I will not be able to attend the service, as I just had surgery and am not yet out and about. Know I care and may God grant you all the love and support you need.

So sad hearing about ida's passing.
I worked with Ida in the advertising department at Deere & Company. Loved her laugh. I remember her beautiful condo out the back way of D&C.
