Idell had the gift to gab and with that loved to talk. Was my pleasure to get to know her and conversate with her at different family functions. As Daves sister in law Jane n i stopped by to visit with Idell and wish her what would be her last Bday. Had a nice visit with Dennis and Idell. My sympathy to Dennis and all the family. God Bless you all with his peace and comfort. :innocent: Cindi Trisco
