I will miss the many phone conversations that Ivy and I had. She and my late husband, James, were 1st cousins on the Kelly side. She and Bill lived a long life together. They loved their family and friends. Love & Prayers.

Bill and Ivey were my moms (Evelyn Salisbury) next door neighbors.
They were the best neighbors anyone would want. They always looked out for her, and took care of her. Every time I visited I would go sit with Bill and Ivey and listen to there stories and tell them mine. During one visit I bought two rocking chairs for their front porch which they loved. I´m sad to here of their passing but know my mom will be happy to have them as her neighbors again in heaven.
Thanks Bill and Ivey
