Betty Lee, Lloyd Huston, Lillian, Billy, Troy and Corrie,

I have many great memories of Aunt Iona, especially during the years she stayed with Grandpa Morris. Although we know that she faced many difficulties during her life, Aunt Iona always maintained a positive outlook and she was always extremely proud of each of you.

In the words of her cousin, Bill Armstrong, "if a flower blooms once, it goes on blooming somewhere forever. It blooms on for whoever has seen it blooming."

It is reassuring to know that Aunt Iona is now living forever with Christ and that her memory will continue to live on in each of us who knew her.

May God continue to bless each of you,

Your Kansas Cousin - David
