You are in my prayers and thoughts as you go through this great loss. I have fond memories of she and Mother Bessie Harris great women of God! Rest in peace!

We were so sorry to hear about Mrs. Ida's passing! Our church group would go to PineLake to sing, and she was definitely one of our favorite people to visit with. She always had an interesting story to tell, a word of encouragement, and praise for The Lord. Despite her health problems, she was always positive and such a blessing to us every time we visited. Every year on her birthday, she would request a lollipop, so for the last couple of years we've brought her a huge lollipop to celebrate, and we were looking forward to celebrating her 100th birthday this year. So sad to hear that she passed, but happy to know she'll be celebrating her birthday dancing and singing in Heaven! Our thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends, as I know she will be greatly missed!

Reading the Pilot this morning is how I learned of Miss Mae?s passing. I have such fond memories of her at Pinehurst resort. ?Miss Mae? as she was know by everyone, was a key member of the Pinehurst team. She epitomized the goal of treating guest as if they were a guest in her own home. She helped make us all feel that it was always ?a beautiful day in Pinehurst?. My memory of her will remain and always bring a smile to my face.
