On March 4th, heaven was blessed with a new angel.  My beautiful mother can now sing, dance, and rejoice.  My mother can finally breathe without restriction. My mother is now agile, and pain-free.  After 47 years of selflessly caring for 5 children, 9 grandchildren, and 1 great grandchild, my mother is now in the warm embrace of her own mother, her father, and her dear brother.  Her warm smile will be missed.  Her ability to make people feel accepted and loved, will never be forgotten. Her clever since of humor, and practical jokes, will continue to make us laugh.

Despite the challenges of raising 5 kids, my mother, made each of us feel important, valued, cared-for, and loved.  We lived modestly.  But, we were rich, in the areas that really mattered.  My mother's creativity and sense of adventure, kept us captivated and excited.  Our imaginations were fueled, by her drawings, paintings, sculptures, and her curiosity about life in general.

In my mothers eyes, everything was beautiful and exciting.  She appreciated the color and smell of every flower.  She enjoyed the excitement of every lightning storm. For my mom, even the shapes of the clouds, had meaning. As children, my mother's creativity always kept us entertained.  She always knew when the next meteor shower was coming.  And, when we were snuggled-up in blankets on the porch, watching for the shooting stars, there was no place in the world, that we'd rather be!

My mother was sensitive to every person's feelings. Every person mattered. My mother had a passion for helping people. She had incredible empathy for those in need.

Mom, you spent your lifetime, teaching us how to be good people, how to be kind, how to help people, how to be there for each other.  You nurtured us, yet, you also taught us to be strong.  Despite the strength that you given us, it hurts, to not be able to speak to you again, to hug you again, to kiss you again. It's hard to believe that you're no longer here.  As a matter of fact, I know that you actually are still here.  I know that you will continue to be with each of us.  Showing us the beauty of each flower.  Bringing excitement to our lives with an occasional thunderstorm, and showing us shapes in the clouds.

I love you, mom.  You always believed in me.  You gave me the courage to face my fears.  You listened, without judgement, as I shared my thoughts, my challenges, and my concerns.  I know that you'll always be with me.  I know that you'll always be at my side, telling me that I am smart, strong, and capable.  I will not let a day go by, without thinking of you, appreciating you, and loving you.

Our heartfelt sympathies for such an amazing woman.

My dear uncle Adrian and sweet cousins, Glenda, AJ, Katy, Matt, and David, I am filled with emotion for your loss. And while I know every experience is different and very personal. But I know that you are all strong and will manage this significant change to your family.I trust that your mother's strong faith aided her transition and that she is embraced by her parents and brother and others. 
Love you all, Angela Ivey

Farewell to my sweet and wonderful Aunt. You were always witty and funny and kind. Thank You
