Welcome 
To our Memory Page
Iva Hammond
1914 - 2005
This memorial website was created to remember our dearest Iva Horn-Dalton Hammond who was born in United States Martin country KY on April 23, 1914 and passed away on April 27, 2005 at the age of 91. You will live forever in our memories and hearts. Ivy lived in Martin County on Turkey Creek up Spruce Pine Holler most of her life. She lived around her family all of her life. Like the Song if I go or if a stay I am a winner either way. I belive she would feel like that if she was here. She did not want to leave her Family but she wanted to see her Lord Jesus too.
A Praying Mother
Somewhere, a tearful Mother prays,
She loves her wayward child;
Still caring for her child's lost Soul,
Once so innocent, tender and mild.
While she rocked and sang a lull-a-by,
Her precious child drifted into sleep;
There in the warmth of her loving arms,
Only if the child was ill...she'd weep.
Those tender years are now gone,
Her love is still strong as back then;
She's had years to watch her child grow,
With God's Love to love again and again.
This dear Mother now has a heart to ache,
She waits patiently as her tears flow;
Kneeling to pray, she talks with God,
Her Saviour, she wants this child to know.
God bless every precious Mother who prays,
He knows her dear child will never forget;
Those times of knowing when Mother prayed,
There's peace...God is not finished yet.
There's pleasure in every temptation of sin,
Though it only lasts for a brief season;
When a loving Mother weeps and prays,
Her love for the wayward child, is the reason.

A COUPLE OF BLESSINGS
May your thoughts lead you often
to some quiet and restful place.
May you meet each new tomorrow
with a smile upon your face.
May you reach the star you aim for
and may your dreams all come true,
And where ever life takes you
may happiness always be with you.

MY HAND IN GOD'S
Each morning when I wake I say,
"I place my hand in God's today;"
I know He'll walk close by my side
My every wandering step to guide.
He leads me with the tenderest care
When paths are dark and I despair--
No need for me to understand
If I but hold fast to His hand.
My hand in His! No surer way
to walk in safety through each day.
By His great bounty I am fed;
Warmed by His love, and comforted.
When at day's end I seek my rest
And realize how much I'm blessed,
My thanks pour out to Him; and then
I place my hand in God's again.

WHEN THE WORLD FORGETS...
who you are,
to share your pain,
to be kind,
to be compassionate,
to smile,
to lift a helping hand,
the sick,
the lonely,
the frazzled, worn, caretaker,
to understand,
to love,
to say "Good Morning",
to let us remember,
to say, "I Love You",
to let us forget,
to say, "Good Night",
to show they care,
to be our friend,
to listen,
to hear,
to speak,
to give gifts of kindness,
to always be there for us,
...God always remembers.
