We are keeping all of The Kempker Family in our thoughts & prayers… with deepest sympathy from The Family of The Late Victor & Irene Stegeman
Ivy was one of my very first friends. I would not be able to look back on childhood without including so many memories of her. We rode bikes back and forth between our houses a couple miles from each other. We explored the woods together. We laughed and always had fun. She was a genuine friend, and though it has been far too long since I have seen our talked to her, upon learning of her passing, I immediately felt her absence, and I miss her so much. I am so sorry for her family’s loss.
Ivy was a beautiful lady. She said what was on her mind and never left you guessing. I will miss you Ivy.
Will miss you!
