To the Reason & Eason families, I am so sorry to hear about Ida’s passing. She was absolutely one of the sweetest ladies I have ever known. I could always count on getting a BIG hug from her every time I saw her. Without a doubt, she is with Jesus and singing with the angels in Heaven today. I know she will be missed by her family and friends, but we can take great comfort in knowing we will see her again if you know Jesus. If you do not know Jesus as your personal Savior, I know Ida would want you to accept Him so you too, can make Heaven your home and be reunited with her one day. Love and Prayers, Vickie Faircloth Lawson Romans 828
So sorry for your loss. Prayers for comfort and peace to you all. Know she is rejoicing in Heaven.
Mrs. Ida was a very special person and I have many fond memories as a child at her home. She truly was a Godly woman and made sure to share the word with others. My thoughts and prayers are with everyone of you. Shannon, my heart goes out to you. I know how much you loved your mother. As a daughter we never grow too old to need our mother. I pray that God gives you peace at this very difficult time.
