Sweet funny Ivan. He was always so nice to me. I enjoyed working with him for 25 years. Prayers for the family, I know he will be greatly missedZ
Dear Janet and family,
I’m sorry to read of our loved one’s passing and may we all find comfort in our Lord’s word during this time of sadness.
In the words of Jesus found in John 11:23-26; “Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?”.
A wonderful promise from our Lord Jesus that we can believe and have confidence in.
God’s continued blessings be upon you all; our loved one is now in the hands of our Lord God.
Truly hate to hear of this! A cousin gone but not forgotten!!🙏❤️
Janet, I am praying for you and your family. Enjoyed working with Ivan. He’s was one of a kind. Always kind and thoughtful.
Linda and I are deeply saddened to hear of Ivan’s passing. He was truly a wonderful father and a loyal, genuine friend. We cherish the fond memories and many great times the four of us shared together over the years—his warmth, humor, and love for life and the outdoors always left a lasting impression.
Please accept our heartfelt condolences and prayers during this difficult time. We are keeping you, Matthew, Jessica, and the entire family close in our thoughts and hearts.
With love and deepest sympathy,
Janet, My prayers are with you and family. I loved working with Ivan he was a special person. He will be greatly missed. 🙏🙏
Janet, I am so sorry to hear of Ivan’s passing. Ivan was one of the first credit union colleagues that I met when traveling to conferences and meetings. Larry and I enjoyed our conference trips with you both and Larry always liked being the guy to go to the ladies, while we attended sessions. I know you will miss him but you also know you will see him again.
In Gods Love,
Larry and Terri Kessinger
I’m so sorry! I will be praying for you and your family!
