I am so sadden to learn about the death of Ivan today.  I haven't been able to stop crying since I received word this morning.  He was such a wonderful friend and such a beautiful person.  Even though I can't be there, since I've been very ill this past year (6 hospital stays since last May or I would be on a plane right now), please know that I'm sending all my love, prayers and wishes to his family, friends and co-workers from up here in Elgin, Illinois.   He truly was an angel here on earth!  I miss him so much!!!  I miss all my friends and co-workers at USCIS.  I'm sending all my love and prayers to his wife, son, and family during this very, very, sad time.  Ivan, you will be truly missed, and if I could have taken your place, I surely would have.  Sincerely, Angela Kennedy
