I worked for many years with Dida at Crosby's Bakery! I loved it! My greatest memories of Dida (among many) were that she taught me how to grow the biggest impatiens plants and her's were the first holiday cards to arrive every time. I think of her so often! This past week I must have unconsciously felt there was something wrong. I couldn't get her out of my mind. Rest In Peace Dida.
