Ivy Allison Staggs

A year has passed since writing in your book.Aunt Gracie,Warren,Aunt Neer,Uncle Bob all have come to join you. Your dear Mama Mel did a beautiful eulogy at uncle Bobs Memorial in Florida on sept. 4.His tragic accident ,so much like yours,gave your mother the compassion to talk with deep faith . Love you a bushel and peck,Meme

The last time I signed this Guest Book, we had just learned of Ivy's tragic accident. This year she celebrated her birthday with God and his angels--surrounded by light and peace--without Earthly cares. May all of the people who loved Ivy have some comfort knowing she lives eternally with those who love her as much as you do. I keep you in my prayers as you travel through this life without her. So, until you meet again, may the beauty in this world keep Ivy's memory alive in your hearts. ...

The one wonderful time that I met Ivy, I was out with Mel, and she said take care of my Mama and I could tell that she was overprotective of her Mama. That is a good thing, but sadly it went the other way around that Miss Ivy died one year later. But now Ivy is no doubt an angel that will hover over her Mama and Wendy .Maybe Mamamel and Wendy will have that super protection that she so mentioned that evening. What a great young lady. You're three awesome girls, just fantastic, and I have no...

While I did not know Allison personally, I knew her well through her grandmother, my dear friend of 60+ years. My deepest sympathy to all those who loved her.

Wendy and Melanie,

I want you to know you and your family are in my prayers. I have such great memories of Ivy "Allison" when I would come spend the night with Wendy. I will truly miss her. I love you both! Please let me know if there is anything I can do.

Love,

Nicole "Pitts" Fields

Little Miss Madeline, your kittie cat is doing remarkably well. She's sitting on high ledges just like she did on your furniture. We haven't gotten around to hot glueing down everything that she would knock over, but she has lot's of friends, dogs and cats keeping her busy. They are all getting along fine. Maybe your spirit is with her because she is doing fantastic. She is a great reminder to us of your down time when you cuddled and relaxed with her.

Melanie,

Know that Ivy is resting happily in the arms of God. You'll rejoice together for all eternity in due season. In the mean time, work on getting as many to join you there as possible. God loves her even more than you do -- if you can fathom that! I'm here if you ever need prayer or a listening ear.

A landscaper who worked side by side with Ivy is not taking this very well. He wants to be near us, to be near Ivy and you can see that he is so devastated. Please pray for him that he is not alone in his sadness. He is such a sweet sweet God loving man and Ivy loved him. He first met our family several years ago when Miss Ivy was planting flowers to try to sell her house with "Ivy appeal" and he stopped to ask if she could use any help. My, how we love him. His name is Moises Jimenez.

My family wishes to send along our sympathy to all of the many people mourning Ivy's departure from this Earth.I know she was loved by many, and we are so grateful to have seen her @ the wedding of Brian and Wendy. We feel truly heartbroken over this terrible tragedy. Melanie and I have known each other since our college years, so I have many memories of Ivy growing up. Although, we are grief stricken at the thought of not seeing her on Earth again,she is truly Heaven's gain. I have no doubt...
