As we are missing my husband, Gilbert Ives,  your Dad Ives and your Grandpa Ives, I have some thoughts to share with you. 

When we were married, you accepted him in as part of our family.  He had expressed to me with tears in his eyes, how well you treated him and how much it meant to him.

Throughout the years he felt apart of and enjoyed:
   The new babies as they were born into our family.
   All the birthdays parties.
   Grandparents Day at school.
   Band concerts.
   All the ball games:  T-Ball, Softball, Baseball, Football, Basketball, and Volleyball. 
   Church plays.
   Graduations both high school and college and graduation parties.
   Weddings.   
   All of the family gatherings for picnics and dinners on holidays.
   The many dinner invitations. 
   The trips we shared with various family members, such as:
        Houseboating
        Western trip
        Ohio
        Texas
        Tennessee
         Kentucky
         North Carolina
         New Hampshire
         Northern Michigan
         Amish area in Ohio
         Shipshiwana, Indiana
         Cincinnati, Ohio

Many thanks for the help so many willingly have given over the years:
   For our yard
   For our garden
   For our house
   For repairs
   For being chauffeurs
   For help in several emergency situations and you so willing came to help.
   For being listening ears, when that was needed.
   For caring for cats and getting the mail and paper, when we were away. 
   For the prayers, help, loving support through his surgeries, illnesses and his last months of life.
   For the grandsons serving as pallbearers.     

He loved each and every one of you. 


Lots of love to each of you.   Mom/Grandma Ives
