I wish I could be there today but my heart is there with all of you. Tia Ida was a huge part of my life and I will miss her dearly. I surprised her last summer and we spent some time together at the nursing home at a sing along in the atrium. She asked me to come back the next day, and I did, but my flight was that afternoon out of Boston, so the visit was short. I smile when I look at the photos-such wonderful memories! She is now at peace with no pain and gets to dance on clouds with Uncle Ray, my parents and hers and so many other people she loves. She will always be with us, watching down and smiling and most of all, proud of all of you. With my deepest heartfelt sympathy and love, Cousin Joyce
