Miss Ida always had a smile on her face and something good to share every person she met. I met her shortly after her husband's death in early 1991. She was one of the first elderly members to welcome us to University Park University Church that first Sunday our family visited. Shortly after that, I attended my first UMW meeting and became involved in the Women's group. Every time I saw her she showed excitement and interest in anyone with whom she saw. I met her daughter, Jane and husband, Bill, in our SS Class. For years, I have enjoyed their friendship and seeing her at their yearly Christmas party where I have had the pleasure to meet many of their family members and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you all now as you celebrate a life, fulled lived and glowing with God's grace, love, and mercy. May the Lord richly bless you and keep you in His loving hand as you are surrounded and embraced by those who love and support you as you learn to live here without her so that all good memories replace the sorrow that you now experience in grief. Blessings and lots or love, Doris
