Lida Willems was a darling, gentle lady and all in Different Strokes art class loved her; she was always smiling and so caring. Covid curtailed the art classes at Longworth and I was hoping to see her again as we are going to start the art classes again. This is some of her art. God be with you Lida. Love you. Dorothy

My sincere sympathy to Lida's family. I will always remember the good times Lida and I had as golf buddies. Her favourite club being her "JOHN DALY" brought many days of hysterical laughter to brighten our day. I will always cherish out time together. I'm so sorry for your loss.
