Anne and Hukum Khan Sending Our Heartfelt Condolences to the Whole Family…I did not know Your Mom,Grandmother,Sister….but saw Her a few times going over to Dianne and Archie’s home….We were Their Neighbors from Lake Cowichan….Thoughts and Prayers are with You all.
Heartfelt sympathy to all your family. Ivy will be remembered as a wonderful mother, sister, and grandma. She was so proud of her family and I looked forward to newsy updates when we chatted every Christmas time.
I especially remember how she loved to ‘shop’, and how she was always beautifully groomed and dressed, right down to the fingernail polish even when she was around the house.
Keeping you in our thoughts at this difficult time;
Love and blessings,
Cousin Linda and Bob
