To the Ivy family,
Although it's almost two years later, we just found out today of Mr. Ivy's passing when calling to reach him. He did our doors/windows on our home, my mother's and friends homes. We were calling to have him to do our new home and repairs on our current home. We are so saddened to hear this news and have been sad all afternoon. He was one of the nicest and most pleasant people we knew. We feel a great loss. So sorry for your loss.
Blessings,
The Sproles Family

I was saddened to read of Stan's death. I was a classmate and fellow graduate of the 1964 Bryant High class. Stan was always a kind, considerate and genuinely nice person , as I'm sure he continued to be. We shared the same Birthdate - Dec 2, 1946, as did another classmate, Paula Mask. In a class so small, that was unusual. Nancy,, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your daughters in this time of grief. Special prayers in the coming birth of your first Grandchild.
God Bless You,
Peggy Bell Newsam

Nancy: I was so sorry to hear of the untimely death of her husband. Kathy Swor Hollingsworth told me that he was a great friend to her parents. I know that you and your family are feeling a large hole in your life, right now. I will pray that the Lord will comfort you with His ever-loving care.

I was shocked and sadden to see Stanley's obituary in the paper. I had him as a high school English student, and I have fond memories of him as a wonderrul young man and a student with great potential. I was pleased to see that he lived up to that potential. Losing a husband/father at such a young age is very hard. I am so sorry that he did not get to see his grandchild.
I pray that you will find comfort in your faith and treasure your memories of a good husband/father..
With my love and prayers.

Nancy, Ashley and Brooke,
We were shocked and saddened to hear this kind of news. Stan was a great guy. I always considered him a cousin instead of a cousin in law. It was always a pleasure talking to him at reunions or on your vacations to and from Disney World. He will be missed. We will keep all of you in our thoughts and prayers.

Philip, William, Phil and I all send our thoughts and prayers your way. Though William thoroughly enjoyed his time yesterday at the competition, he was the first one to suggest that the school keep one team trophy and that the other be given to you. Phil and I can not express what your involvement with both of our boys has meant to us. Much love to you all. Stephanie

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Ivy family for their loss of Stan Ivy. I have been a driver for UPS Freight for 17 years. For 13 of those i delivered in the downtown area which included Ivy Home Improvement. And while doing so it was a tremendious pleasure getting to know Mr, Ivy. Mr Ivy was always upbeat and willing to stop and chat with me when i finished making his delivery. Mr. Ivy will be missed dearly. May God Bless and Comfort all of you during this time with a the kind of Love and Peace and Comfort that surpasses all understanding.
