I feel very, very lucky to have known Ivy. She has always been so lovely to me as someone who joined her family. Genuinely caring and positive, she brought a smile to every occasion. I’ll really miss her warmth, her singing, her sense of fun and that beautiful smile. She is an inspiration and that will never change.

Although mam may have passed on,
Her memory forever stays.
I remember how she smiled at us
And the joy she always gave.
I’ll miss her all the time,
And think of her every day.
Mam’s love filled our world.
That love will never fade. 🩷
