Dear Penny, Mary and Janet,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you and your families. I am truly heart broken that Ida is not with us. I want to thank each one of you for giving me the pleasure of knowing and loving your Mom. My Mom died when I was only 4, your Mom was the Mom I never knew. Your Mom loved each and everyone of you so very much, she talked about all of you so much that I feel that I grew up with all of you! Your Mom had such grace, such class and was the most elegant woman that I have ever known. I already miss her, she always made me feel so special. Take comfort in that she is with God in heaven and when it is our time we will all be together again.
Love,
Janet Colamaria

Sorry I just saw this 6 years later. I worked with Ida for many years at New England Telephone in Walpole and Foxboro. She was the best of the best. Sorry I didn't make it to the arrangements, Ida was someone I thought would live forever. God Bless all of you. My sincere sympathy to all of you.
