For as long as I can remember Iva has been in our lives. It is easy to say that she was my mother's very dearest friend. I first met Iva through bowling, something she loved doing. She was so very kind and loving. Iva is loved and is missed terribly every single day. God Bless, Iva, we love you.
Wish I could be with you today at the cemetery but I am sure you know that. I will always miss you and the great times we had together for so many years.
I considered Iva my best friend for oh so many years. The time finally came when we couldn't spend time together anymore but that didn't matter. She loved her family so much and even though she couldn't be with them much anymore, I know she will be missed by them. Skyler and I are quite sure she has already joined a heavenly bowling team composed of the many bowling buddies that were awaiting her arrival.
