Terry and Michelle, I am so very sorry to hear about your Mom and Grandma. She was a wonderful lady. I know she will be missed by you and many others. Lots of love to you both
Dear Terry and Michelle,
My mind is so full of wonderful memories of worshiping with your Grandma and Grandpa at Highland Park. Ileva was such a wonderful woman, so caring and such a good friend. I am praying for both of you and all of the family as you say your earthly farewell to your Mother and Grandmother. I am heartened to know that she and her Dean have had a wonderful reunion and are together for eternity.
I love you both!!! <3
Sending your whole family love. Ileva was such a kind woman, I remember many happy hours in her home.
I've loved Mrs. ileva for a long time. Will miss her sweet face, quirky laugh and beautiful spirit. Our Church won't be the same without her.
