Ida had two special children
And many more that called her mom,
She had loving grandsons and daughters,
And us lucky ones who put a ‘Great’ in front of Grandmom.
She was blessed with many brothers
Sisters, family and friends,
And no matter how you loved her
Those feelings will not end.
In the long and lovely time
That God put her on this earth,
She made a bring impression
And surely proved her worth.
She was a wise teacher to some
And others just a listener,
Able to take a joke or a teasing poke
And fire back even quicker.
Ida was a woman with strong convictions
And loyal in her Faith,
She was honest, kind and caring …
Just look at the family she’s made.
She loved to go to the casino
And never missed her number,
There wasn’t anyone who could keep you warmer
While freezing through the Mummers.
She could make you laugh and kick your ass
In a friendly game of cards,
She’d knit you slippers and fix your zipper …
Making gravy wasn’t hard.
But out of all the things about you, Grandmom,
And the lessons that just stuck,
We learned how deep you loved your husband
And how happy you must be that Carlo’s came to pick you up.
We love you,
Your Family
