To Tiana,Darcy, Ife, Ivy and Kunle, No one truly dies that lives on in the hearts and memories of those that love them. Your mom was a very unique, loving,caring and selfless person who gave so much of herself to so many. She touched so many lives in a positive way,she will be sorely missed. Ivy was one of a kind, a sweet spirit that God allowed to touch my life. Rest in peace my friend...

To Ivy's children and family - Ivy was one of the most humble and kindest people I have ever known. As children - I remember her persuading me not to fight, us picking peaches off the tree so Ms Bea could make some of her famous peach pies, we spent so many hours in that big yard on Spruce Street looking for lady bugs and 4 leaf clovers and then there was Mr Bronson - taking us fishing and again -Ms Bea cooking the best fried fish I have ever had to this day - To Darshon, Tiana, Litte Ivy and her other children - your Mom was the best. May God be with you at this challenging time
Sincerely - Cheryl Grant - from the "Valley"
