To the Ivey family, I meet Mrs. Lilly one time when I went camping with my son, David Ward and my daughter-in-law Melissa and her mom and dad the, Croughs. I only stayed 1 week, but she made me feel like one of her family. She will be so missed. I talk to David about every day and I would always ask about her. My prayers are with the Ivey family. I will always remember Mrs. Lilly.

Terry, I am so sorry for your loss. I have been thinking about you and your family a lot lately. Some of my best memories are spending time at your house with Beverly, Crystal and Becky. What I remember most is your house was the place everybody wanted to be at and your mom always treated all of us like we were all her kids. I am praying for you and your family. May God comfort you all.

My Dear Sweet Sister.... I will miss you so much. From the moment I met you way back when Marvin brought you home to us, I fell in love with the patient lady you are. Your giving and loving nature far surpasses what is usually expected from another human being.
Lil, you taught me what it is to really be loved. You asked me, " What it is you have done to deserve this praise and love," and I told you, "Look inside and tell me what I did to deserve your love and attention the way you gave it and you will see the caring you gave me." I know many others feel this way. I am so glad I got to tell you in these past few weeks. I hope I showed you how much I love and care for you and yours too. I love you to the moon and back..... Doris

Lil will always be remembered by family and friends. She showed concern for others, even if she never meet the person. Her heart was so big, she not only loved her own children, she loved all the Ivey Children, too . She had a listening ear if one needed to talk. Her brave journey during these past years is an example for all of us. Love was deep for her, a real happiness for life. She was always planning reunions, dear love ones she had a reunion waiting for her on Saturday March 28, 2015 . Rest in peace my dear friend and sister in law. We love you, Bill and Peggy

Dear Aunt Lil,
My heart breaks that you are gone from us but I am so happy that your suffering is over. When we were reunited in 2010, I was struck by how kind you were. Dan and I will be eternally grateful for you sharing your recipe for the earthquake recipe with us. We Love you.

You'd be proud as they used a picture of you with that red lipstick. You were always a beautiful girl, inside and out. I'm going to miss my buddy, my best friend and all our fun filled conversations. I will always cherish our memories of the fun and laughter we shared in our lives. The Ivey family will not be the same without you as you're the best choice my brother ever made bringing you into our family. So many memories of our years together. I'll always do my best to be there for Terry and your family as I love them so much. You will be greatly missed but I know you were ready to go home and be with Marvin and Cricket. You'll always have a special place in my heart -- love and miss you.
