  21. Barb Redmond

    Ida came to Dr. J.C. Wickwire to sign up as a reading tutor and a lovely friendship blossomed between us.
    I have a beautiful needlepoint Ida made for me as a wonderful surprise and I have always treasured it.
    Always at Christmas and holidays we exchanged cards but lost touch since Christmas.
    When I read of her passing, I was shocked and deeply saddened.
    An animal lover and a beautiful soul with a great capacity for love… that was Ida.
    To Brian and all Ida’s family… my deepest condolences on the loss of a special lady I loved very much.
