Dear Elda and family, Was so sad to hear of Ivors passing. I know that he is up there praising the Lord and maybe Bryan is playing the piano for him! I have always had a special place in my heart for you and Ivor, I know that Bryan did as he spoke of you both. I hope that I could come visit with you whenever it is convenient. Love and hugs, Laura Davis

Elda, I am sorry for your loss. I do not know if you remember me from The House of the Lord. Do you remember Leon Zimmerman or Henry Bowman? I was friends with them. And we appreciated the Groff girls and we moved on the Lord’s House with Mark and Abbie. Love, Paul

Elda and family
I am so sorry for your loss. I was remembering and talking about working with Ivor the day before, I saw his obituary. I did not know you live in Marietta now. I live in Marietta now also. Maybe we can get together to remember. Elda, if you can, email me.

My deepest sympathy to Elda & all the family. I remember him from Worship Center, but also from when he worked at Grocery Outlet(or was it Amelia’s then?). May God comfort & strengthen you with His great peace, love and the hope we have through a Jesus for life eternal in heaven with Him.

Elda and Jones family I am sorry for your loss. Ivor was so loved by so many. I had the pleasure of living down the hall from him and Elda for better than five years. We had so many fun times. So I am blessed with many memories. God Bless you all !!
