Ida was like my second mom, I was always at there house Gina and I were best friends when we were little. My fondest memory of her was always buying us lip glosses, as we collected them. She always was so kind to buy me one as she was getting her own daughter one. And the Lebanon bologna sandwich’s haha. Her and Steve would always take us kids to the skating rink every Friday and Saturday nights also. We moved away but I will always remember the kindness and of Ida
and her whole family. Rest in peace Ida. Hugs to Todd, Gina, and Amy.
