• Michelle, Jan and all your families,
  I have been amazed by your mother since I first heard of the Hunt Family of 18 kids! I thought "She must be a saint". The first time I met her, she came right up to me and introduced herself like we were old friends. I've never forgotten her friendliness and joyous spirit of that first meeting. How truly blessed I've been to be part of her caregiving family and what a blessing she was to know, to learn from and to love.
  My greatest sympathy is for you all as she was truly precious and one of a kind. May God comfort you "as a mother tends her child". ~ Rebecca Williams Philip, SD (2/5/2013)

• I treasured my "visits" with my great-aunt Ida when I came to see my mom as they were roommates. It is very hard to lose a parent, but may you be overwelmed with precious memories to sustain you until you meet again. ~ Wayne and Jill Splitt Wichita, Kansas (2/5/2013)
• My sympathies to Jan and Michelle and all the family in the loss of your mother, Ida. She really enjoyed songs that were played at the Philip Nursing Home; and she seemed tickled when I joined in singing them with her when I was over visiting my mother Norma. About two months ago, Norma and Ida were sitting together in the entry while they were supposed to be eating their meal. Something I did sparked a laugh out of Ida, and when I giggled she laughed harder; which started my mom to laughing too. We all had a rousing chorus of laughter, even though no one knew just what was so funny or what set us off in the first place; but it was great medicine for all three!
