Ivan,
I am so sorry to hear of Carilons' passing. She was a wonderful and caring lady. She worked for me in the 1970's and I considered her one of the nicest and most competent employees that I ever worked with. Our paths crossed again several times in California, Houston, and again in Tallahassee, and my opinion of her always remained high. My condolences to you and your family in this difficult time.

Ivan and Family,

Through the years after we all left Unisys i would run into you (Ivan and Carilon) in various places around Tallahassee. It was always a Joy and Pleasure to see the two of you. I am very sadden by Carilons passing and will sorely miss her smile whenever she would see me. The world has definitely lost one of its greatest assests and a wonderful lady. I know you and your son feel the same way i do about your beloved and his mother. Ivan my condolences and heart felt sorrow goes out to you and your family, but god knows best. Carilon is now getting a well deserved rest. I hope to see her again on the other side. RIP my friend.
