Deepest condolences to your family
He always seemed like the tallest man in the world to me and one of the strongest. He could drive a big truck or build a car and when I was little that was like magic. He seemed so stern when he wouldn't stop for the bathroom on road trips while carting 5 little cousins in the bed of his truck but was so sweet when he told me as an adult how proud he was of me for having a family of my own. Seeing his smile so big when he saw. the pictures on my phone and asked me to send them to him. He was so proud of his family...even when he was ornery.🙂 I will miss you Uncle Lewis Ivory from your niece Ivori. Until we see each other again. I love you Uncle Lewis. Rest well..the world will be so much better when you wake. Rev 21:4
My Deepest Condolences to the Family. May God continue to keep you in his care. Praying for all of you.

In a time of need and a steady hand,set aside the emotion with words that stand, it has a sting and it hurts so much, but still soft when it comes to touch, with a belief and a lot of doubt,harsh words spoken from the mouth, a faith that cannot be moved, with the will that will never lose, you pushed hard and you stood firm,it was final when you gave your word,in life a promise that you've always kept, I thank you for the love and strength forever left. Love you
