Just found out about Vida today, she was such a dear person. My mom was her neighbor, Ginny Runge who so enjoyed hanging out with her and visiting her. Mom died almost six years ago but I tried keeping up their friendship by bringing goodies to Vida and Reta (another neighbor) from time to time to remind them they were special. She will be greatly missed.

Sarah thoughts and prayers to you and your family on your loss. I have dearly enjoyed every single funny and precious story you have shared with me about her over the years. I know you are going to miss her but WOW my heart just can't refrain from leaping with happiness. Happiness from knowing you took advantage of all the precious time and moments that you could while she was here on this Earth. I love you always my dear friend and I know you find comfort though our Father in Heaven.
