I am so sorry for your loss. I wish I had known that Ida passed away. She was the last realtive who knew our immigrant ancestors (Drieborg). Her mom, Cora, was instrumental is trying to keep the family in touch. We lost a great woman. I will miss her even though I haven't talked to her in a couple of years.

Irish Blessing May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. Aunt Ida, Thank you for the memories of Thanksgiving dinner at your home, the wonderful family Christmas parties with Grandma Carson, and the pool parties on Judd. I especially appreciated the fruit pizza you made for my graduation party. You were always such a kind sister to my Dad. May God bless you! Rest in Peace.

- Charlene
