Dear Herbert and the Newton Family,
Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. I remember "cousin" Iva well. She was so sweet to call me when my mom passed away. She said comforting words about how she remembered my mom. I've kept up with you all through Louise, Jimmy and Martha Jones as well as my dad (Ernie) and my uncle (Edward). My condolences to you.

My deepest sympathy to the Newton family. I grew up with Iva, her sisters and brothers. The Pritchard
family lived across the street from
mine. I saw her a few years ago at
a reunion and she looked great.

Dear Herbert & Family: Got the news this morning about Iva. I haven't seen her for many years, but kept up with the family thru my mother (Louise) as long as she lived....lately, Edward. I will always remember you visiting my mother, playing the piano for her which she enjoyed so much. My condolences to you and the children.
