Granny

Ida Coppola


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
