Dear Jacqui, Kim and family,
I was so sad to hear that your Mom has died. I have such warm memories of her from throughout my life. I smile when I think of a running joke I had with her when I was teenager about whether I’d managed to get my driver’s licence yet. She was there on my first day of kindergarten and I was so pleased to watch her dance with her granddaughter at my wedding. Ida was a lovely woman with a big, generous heart and a great sense of humour. She will be greatly missed. Thinking of all of you and sending love, Beth
