Aunt Ida was my Mothers younger Sister, to know Ida is to love Ida. She was my Sunday school teacher and lived the Faith that she taught us. The loss of Ida and Follie causes grief but Ida would tell you that God is faithful. There will be a great family reunion, untill then i will weep with you all. Hold to God’s unchanging hand.

My Aunt Ida has always been a special lady with a huge heart! Whether she was taking care of her family or her animals, her loving heart was always on display. I guess you could say, she led by example. Our loss is Heavens gain. Rick Wood
