tribute to Tante Ida

I haven't met a kinder, lovelier woman than this favourite sister of dad's and best friend of mom's. We grew up knowing and loving her as our closest neighbour and friend. She has lived a good life for over 90 years with more than her share of tragedies, including the loss of a child, grandchild and her husband of many years, with the grace and good humour of an angel. Now, as she prepares to return to her humble beginnings, she does not complain, but enjoys her family surrounding her. She is rightfully tired and ready to be quit of us. I wish her great love and godspeed for the journey ahead. Farewell oh good and faithful servant.

Love, elly
