Sending sympathy your way. I met your dad at Lincoln El. and recently chatted with him at Festival Foods. We often visited as he worked and connected probably because my dad’s name is also Ivan. I also purchased some furniture when your grandma passed away. So I’ll always have a memory of your dad. Take care of yourselves. Wish I could be there today.

Kyle and Kris,
My deepest sympathy to both of you. Unfortunately, I had been out of town and missed paying my respects. I know how hard it is to loose a parent. Stay close to one another…life is very short. Family is amazing at times when we least expect it.
Love to you and your families,
Laurie
