“Ida was a wonderful lady whom I had the pleasure of knowing afew years ago. She told me many stories of her life as a young girl. She loved looking her best and always wanted her makeup applied. She was also very independant even though she was in a wheelchair. Even though I haven't seen her I have happy memories of her and I know she made this world a better place to live in!”
