Dear Michele and Melissa, Uncle Ivan and Aunt Loni have always been very special family throughout my life - too many memories to share here. I am sad that I can't be with all of you at this time. I spent many fun days with your Father and Mother in San Antonio, Iowa and at Mother and Daddy's. Seeing his picture brings tears, as that face won't be at our reunions and I can't get a rise out of him playing Pitch anymore. How we all loved to play cards with your Mom and Dad. Love to all, Linda (Beede) Titus

Dear Melissa and family, I am so sad to hear this news. I had the privilege of being Ivan and Loni's insurance agent for many years. (and my Dad was their agent many years before me) I am blessed to have had this long time relationship with your family! My thoughts and prayers are with you all. He was a wonderful kind man who will be greatly missed.
