Ivan Claude Beede

Dear Michele and Melissa, Uncle Ivan and Aunt Loni have always been very special family throughout my life - too many memories to share here. I am sad that I can't be with all of you at this time. I spent many fun days with your Father and Mother in San Antonio, Iowa and at Mother and Daddy's. Seeing his picture brings tears, as that face won't be at our reunions and I can't get a rise out of him playing Pitch anymore. How we all loved to play cards with your Mom and Dad. Love to all, Linda...

Ivan helped in our kitchen, washing dishes, and everyone here at the center will miss him. Our thoughts and prayers are with your family.

Dear Melissa and family, I am so sad to hear this news. I had the privilege of being Ivan and Loni's insurance agent for many years. (and my Dad was their agent many years before me) I am blessed to have had this long time relationship with your family! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He was a wonderful kind man who will be greatly missed.

I wish to extend to you and to members of your family my deepest sympathy on your loss. May the Lord's loving promises comfort you and give you strength as you walk through this difficult time. On behalf of a grateful nation as an expression of appreciation for the honorable and faithful service rendered by your loved one. (If you wish a personalized memorial card sent to you with history of playing of taps, 21 gun salute, meaning of each fold of the flag as a keepsake, mail to: Chaplain...

My heart goes out to the family of this good man. I am so sorry for your loss.
