Ida and Frank Moreno where my neighbors for many yours. Ida also is my sister’s good mother. She was a loving woman, a great cook a woman with a big heart. I love you and will always remember your homade tortillas. RIP my friend
I just found out today, of Ida’s passing. I am so sorry to hear this. I always called her “Mama”, as she reminded me of my own mother. My deepest condolences to the family. May you RIP, Ida.

Ida and Frank were my Godparents. I’m in my mid 50’s and grew up in Fremont. I hadn’t though of her and Frank in so many years until hurricane Ida. I just looked up her name and It’s sad to see an obituary for her. She lived a long life. I remember feeling great fondness to a gentle woman when I was young. My sincere condolences ❤️
