Since 1979 John & Ann have been a part of the Blassick's lives. John & I had a strong business relationship that developed into a very strong social friendship. Ann would have both families together at Thanksgiving (& many addtional times) for a wonderful meal in celebration of the day & the things we all were thankful. In the early times, the Ives' would help us find our way in a new town with a different culture. Too many other occasions to mention here, cemented our bond. Some were, Golf trips to visit when they lived away from Gainesville, Lady Golf Gators (both Barb & Ann contributed to it's founding), every Saturday morning golf pairing, are all a part of the fond memories!
Now, three of the four of us have passed on.
As Ralph's quote stated, don't be sad these times have passed, be (I am) happy they happened!
