I met Mrs. Ivy Rebenack a couple of years ago and called her weekly for several weeks to talk and see how she was doing. After a second visit to her home, I realized I knew her daughters Maureen and Marilyn from working at the local hospital. She was a sweet lady and I loved her accent. She will be missed.

So very sorry about the loss of Ivy....She was a great lady......My Tim always called her Miss Ivy.....when Tim passed away, and Ivy and I talked, she would say that he was one of the only people that called her Miss Ivy...she was loved by so many people.

I ask god to wrap his arms around Ivy family and hold them tight, as they go though this sad time.

This is the loss of a great lady.
