IN LOVING MEMORY

IDA REE BECKMANN

~ MAY 4 - 1928 - MARCH 2 - 2010 ~

Champion Border Collie Blood lines

After a long illness ... My mother passed at 81 years of age. She had a deep love for the dogs, animals and the out doors with a "Heart" bigger than the Sun. She will be missed greatly ... I was truly blessed to have a mother with so many tremendous gifts and talents. I know in my heart that she is watching over things at Rising Sun Farm.

God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arm around her and whispered " Come with Me." With tearful eyes we watched her suffer and saw her fade away. Although we loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A Golden heart stopped beating; hard working hands to rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
