    Virginia, I’m so sorry to learn of your mothers passing. She was blessed with a very long, full life, I know you’ll miss her greatly. I’ll be out of town Friday and can’t make the service, but will keep you in my prayers.

    My Aunt Ida was the last of my father, Ernest Trotter's, siblings. She was always a lovely woman that will be missed. My heart goes out to Virginia, Melissa, Casey and their families for the loss of Ida. I can't be there in person with you all on Friday but you will all be in my thoughts and prayers. Lots of Love, Angela
