IVY GWYNNE-THOMAS

My mother was a great woman to the world, but to me she was the best mother any adopted child could have ever dreamt of. It is truly the end of an era. I was blessed to be by my mothers side when she passed. It is a moment i will always hold in my heart. My mother always said if she could get me to 16 years with a good moral base and good christian understanding, she would be satisfied. This Dec 16 will be 31 extra years of love and care she gave me. I would tell my mother I loved her...

Ivy and Eric shared the quality of bringing joy to any room they inhabited and of enriching any community in which they resided. Their generation nourished a tradition of erudition, warmth and intellectual interest that seems to be dying along with them. Thank God we have our wonderful memories of them to sustain us.

My memories of Ivy will be of a very nice, intelligent, curious and well-informed person. She and her husband Eric were memorable people and I feel blessed to have known them both.
