I was very sorry to learn of the passing of Ivan. I have wonderful memories of the time that our families resided on E. 8th Street. As your former occasional babysitter my condolences go out to you and your family.

May you rest in peace Uncle Ivan and have no pain now-someday we will all be together again free of disease, pain, and hurt of any kind!! So you go get busy up there in heaven and prepare a place for us all to come home and gather again someday. If your life here on earth is any indication of what you will prepare for us all when we come home to see the family as a whole together again, I have no doubt it will be an amazing place that you will have prepared for us along with the rest of the family that has already come home for you to help. Give them hugs for all of our family and last but not least-HOLD AUNT CAROLYN SO TIGHT AND KEEP HER SAFE UNTIL SHE JOINS YOU BY YOUR SIDE AGAIN!! We all love and miss you so very much but someday that missing will be over as we will all be back home again!!! SEE YOU AT HEAVEN'S GATE SO WATCH FOR ALL OF US!!!

Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss. Ivan and I were very good friends and playmates as children. I lived across the street from him and we enjoyed playing together as children, working in the hay fields and playing little league baseball. I have and always will have very fond memories of our times together. I was so saddened to hear of his passing. Please take solace in your memories. You are in my prayers.

Carolyn, I'm so sorry to hear about Ivan. One of the guys Ivan and I worked with once said that we all knew Ivan was a big man with even a bigger heart. He was a friend I will miss forever. We will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

"God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not meant to be,
So he put his arms around you
and whispered "Come to Me".
With tearful eyes we watched you,
as we saw you pass away.
Although we loved you deeply,
we could not make you stay.
Your Golden Heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us,
He only takes the best."
Sweet Dreams Uncle Ivan! You are missed dearly already!!!! I am so very sad that you are no longer here with us on Earth but i am also so very Happy that you will NEVER have to experience Pain and suffering again! I Love you and Auntie Carolyn with all my heart!
Until we meet again....... in Heaven, Rest peacefully!
