Steve and Judie:
I am sorry for your loss, but happy to know of Heaven's gain, and happy for the healthy Ivy now enjoying her reward.

I always looked forward to my "Miss Ivy" hugs on Nimble Fingers Ministry days--one when she went in and one when she left the church. She was a delight to know!

You are in our thoughts and prayers.

Steve, Judie and Family,
I am so sad to hear of Ivy's passing. She was always so kind to me and I enjoyed talking to her when we went to Trinity to sing or at the church for all occasions. She always gave of herself to others and I was so impressed by her kind heart. I pray that I learn and grow from her Christian example. I have all of you in my prayers and I know she is safe at home with our Lord.
God Bless you
