Hey, great minds must think alike Arla because I was thinking of Iva also and had dug out the pictures so I could put them on the blog. I to have often wondered what she would have been like and how life would have been different had she lived. I always pictured her tall like myself with brown hair and brown eyes but athletic like you, and her personality would be much like yours and Arvins. Not sure why I picture her this way but I always have. Iva, although I never met you - you have never been forgotten. Vonda

Yes we always will wonder!!! Thanks Arla and Vonda for the memories.Always to this very day we will never forget ----how Arla [just about 4] would never have us forget Iva. For the next several years when ever we would take a day off or go on a little mini vacation or just a special day out somewhere-- or even to church on sunday her comment would be as we were packing or driving off the yard "now if only Iva would have lived she could go with us."She said this time and time again. We lived on a farm south of Edgerton and the day of Iva's funeral Velma Fransen and Connie Tinklenberg [Becky Van Hulzen's mom] served the lunch.Thanks for remembering Iva.
By the way Velma and Connie were our neighbors.Mom
Vonda,
Thanks for putting up the pictures of Iva. I was hoping if you had them that you would do that. Good thing one of us sisters in the family is good at all this technical stuff on the computer. :)
Love,
Arla
