Ivy was a very dear sweet lady and fun to be with. We had a lot in common, both being British ex-pats, and whether it was afternoon tea or a mini road trip along Chukanut Drive, I always thoroughly enjoyed our visits and outings together. I will miss her very much. Condolences to Dale and Karen, and to all the family.

Dale and Karen,

Thank you for giving me the opportunity to express my feelings. Ivy was like a twin sister to me. I will miss her very much because we did everything together; even joining the WRENS as twins together. We always knew what the other one was doing, even when we were miles apart .
God bless her. I will miss her.
June
