I met Ivey when I started working at Boombozz five years ago. And I have never met a more wonderful, loving, thoughtful, beautiful and compassionate person as she was in a long time. She had a heart of gold and was so genuine. She was there for me when she didn’t have to be, she was my manager and that’s all she had to be. But not with her, she would put you before her own self just to make sure you were ok. She always went above and beyond. My heart broke into a thousand pieces when I received the news about her passing, it is devastating. God put that woman in my life for a reason and I thank him everyday for that because she taught me a lot of things, even when she didn’t realize it. I kept in touch with her as well as she kept in touch with me after I left my employment at the restaurant. She got me through some dark and ugly times that I was going through in my life with my ex husband and other things. That other’s would judge but not her. I always will remember her saying to me all the time to keep my head up and that I was worth something, more than I ever gave credit to myself for. I will always remember all are heartfelt talks and sometimes arguments but at the end of the day she was right a lot of the times. And I thank god that a friend of mine wanted to go sit on the patio at Boombozz’s a couple of weeks ago because I didn’t know that was going to be the last time I wiould ever get to lay eyes on that beautiful soul or talk to her ever again, except for in my prayers! And it makes me feel a bit better knowing that I have that wonderful and beautiful soul on my side up there now, even though I want to be selfish and have her back here. Like I think we all do! I love you Ivey and rest peacefully now! I will always have you in my heart and always remember the kind and loving person you were!
