Ivan,
As time permits you will always remain in our hearts and thoughts;
and I said, oh that I had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away, and be at rest.
As we share in our memories of you and all the wonderful smiles and tender love.
We remember and will forever love you. My beloved Angel til we embrace on the
Eternal Shores.
