I have nothing but sweet memories of Ivan and Colleen.
I especially loved the fun they made possible through
teaching us and preparing us for the Dance Festival
around 1972-73. Such a great experience!

Uncle Ivan was always the kindest man to me and my family. He was my go to person for blessings and as a single mother of 5 he would come save us when we had our little emergences, no matter the time of day or night. Luckily it was few & far between. He was there when my kids needed that family & Christ like hug. Both him & Colleen never judged, just showed genuine love.

I have fond memories of our youth together. We used to play together at each other‘s houses. Well I always remember when you attended Lane’s wedding service in the Portland Temple, where you were serving as an ordinance worker. Love you cousin.
