Having spent three weeks in North Dakota in January 2005, I visited with her many times at the Central Dakota Village, where Mom is also. She came to Mom's room, we visited in Chapel, their small Cafe in CDV and also in her room. I stopped by her table in the dining room several times and encouraged her to (eat her vegetables) and to generally eat more. I once asked her what we were going to do with her, I think it was after she had fallen at the Gackle Care Center, and her response was "put me in the ground". Her wish has been granted. I said goodbye to her on the morning of the 27th of January before driving back to Bozeman. May she rest in peace. God bless Ida. God bless all of her family.
