Our family extends our deepest sympathy to the family of Ivi, who we considered an extension of our own family. She was such a good friend to my mother, Helen Lawson, for the last year while they shared a room at Glen Haven Manor. When I think of Ivi I remember coming into their room one day and Mom was in her bed and Ivi was sitting in her wheelchair beside her, talking away and holding Mom's hand....it was just so sweet. Her friendliness and beautiful smiles when we gave her a hug and kiss after visiting mom (which she seemed to enjoy as much as we did) will always be remembered. She especially seemed to enjoy our grandchildren, Jacob and Jersey, when they were in to visit, her eyes lighting up as much as mom's did! The picture you chose of Ivi is so "her" with that twinkle in her eye and a smile on her face. It sounds like Ivi led quite an interesting life and we are so thankful that we got to share a small slice of it. Our thoughts are with you. Love, Kathy (nee Lawson) and Herb Mattatall and family
