Blessing to all who LOVED OUR SISSY!!!
Iva Jean was my neighbor, and I will miss not seeing her outside. When I was sick and in the hospital, Iva Jean sent me cards every week. She would always write a scripture verse in it and would let me know what was going on in the neighborhood. She was very sweet and kind to everyone.
Heaven is rejoicing as another Saint makes her way home. I love you Sissy and you will forever be with me in my heart. RIP sweet Auntie.
