Thanks Linda, nice to hear from you, it was so fun to see your Mom at my Mom’s 90th birthday. She looks great! It’s hard to think of them as getting older, it seems like not that long ago we were playing barbie dolls while they visited in your kitchen. Take care, Holly
Such sad news…Rita Decker (my Mom) told me the news yesterday. Iva Jean and Rita were good friends…I think my Mom is taking her passing quite hard. Eugene, Kathy and Holly my condolences to you and all of your loved ones. I can so picture your Mom’s fun loving laughter and genuine smile…I also remember her beautiful home and lovely gardens. Rest in peace Iva Jean!
Kind regards,
Linda Decker Jeffers
