Ik herinner tante Ida vooral als de moeder van Anant die regelmatig langs kwam op de Polderlaan om schoon te maken en de was kwam doen.
Uiteraard ook het pannenkoeken eten waren fijne momenten.
Na de Polderlaan altijd even hartelijk en betrokkken als ik haar sprak.
Ze wordt gemist.

Jullie oma was een echte oma.
Wat zullen jullie haar missen.
Niet meer logeren.
Geen pannenkoeken meer eten.
Niet meer lachen samen.
We bidden dat jullie haar heel lang zullen blijven herinneren.
Ze is nu voor altijd bij Jezus.

I am Amit's sister. As most of you know, Amit is Ida's ex-husband. They were married for many years, but at a certain period of their lives they decided for a divorce. As far as I could see, they remained friends even after getting divorce. Whenever my family came from India, Sri-Lanka or America, Ida and Amit always met them and took them around. And at the same time, my brother Amit and Ida used to visit India and stay with the family. We had mutual respect for each other.
Whenever Amit or Ida got sick they used to take good care of each other. Both of them were crazy about Manuel and Julia, their adorable grand children. Till the very last, Ida used to come at least once a week to see them or children would sleep at Ida's place and she would cook for them all. This she continued doing as long as she could. All six of them - Amit, Ida, Anant, Amarant, Manuel and Julia - often went for vacation together or on cycle-trips. We got photos from Amit about how they all were enjoying together.
Ida got sick about a year back. Amit, Anant and Amarant took good care of her. About two and half months ago we went to France. Just before that Ida and Amit came for lunch at our house. They must have stayed for nearly two hours, but then she had to go as she was getting pain. We are glad that we had the opportunity to meet Ida at that time in April. We had regular updates of Ida's health from Amit, Anant or Amarant. With the help of the three of them, Ida was at her home until nearly the last.
Ida passed away young. May she rest in peace. We wish all her dear ones a lot of strength to bear this loss.

Dear Bhaia, Anant and Amaranth
We were very sorry to hear of Ida’s passing. It’s sad to see someone leaving at such a young age. We wish that you find the strength to bear this great loss. Our condolences to you all.

Lieve Anant, het is een feestje geweest jouw moeder te zien als onderdeel van jullie gezin. Zo liefhebbend jouw moeder, Amarant in haar hart gesloten en er onvoorwaardelijk zijn voor haar kleinkinderen. Het was afgelopen jaar steeds een beetje meer moeten missen van wat ze in jullie gezin kon doen en de rollen draaiden zich om, door voor haar te zorgen. Dit hebben jullie geweldig liefdevol gedaan. Ze zal er altijd bij blijven horen, met wat ze allemaal voor jullie gedaan heeft , heeft ze oneindig veel liefde achter gelaten. Ik denk veel aan jullie! 😘 Marlous
