Dear Family of Ida Ehgoetz Hello. I am one of the many friends of your beloved Mother, Grandmother and Great Grandmother, who has recently passed on to the Heavenly Realm. Ida nd I became close when she lived at 115 Cherryhill Blvd. , London. I am a VON Personal Support Worker, and I was the first PSW assigned to her. Later, another Health Agency was given over to her building, but we remained friends. Ida was very easy to talk to. I can still hear her voice in my mind. A lovely person, she often told me of her family , and she loved you all so dearly. She spoke often of the adventures of her Grandchildren and the Niece with the Poppy book, just all of you in turn. How she enjoyed your photos, letters and phonecalls. She knew I am always busy, so I was not able to visit much, and I have no car. I apprecuiate Art, and we had that in common. She told me of her Toronto friends,& their visits. She spoke of her endured pain from injuries and health problems. Yet in the same conversation she spoke of what gave her joy. I found Ida to be a spiritual person, a gifted Artist and loyal friend. I am proud to have been included in her life. Gods Blessings to you all. Thinking of you and sending my condolences.
