My dear Iva, my beautiful, feisty second mom! Your passion and energy were epic, and I could never keep up with you. You gave me so much and taught me so many things. You were the best cook ever and I'll never forget our times eating and conversing in your kitchen and our amazing trips to your home in Florida with your dear Mary. Swimming, walking the beach and just having fun. Those memories that I will always cherish, the laughter was endless as was your generosity. Miss you already but I know you're in a better place. Love you with all my heart always and forever, Gracie Bella for everything. RIP
