Mere words could not describe what a wonderful person, friend, and neighbor Irene was. She leaves a place in our hearts that no other can fill. She left behind a legacy of love that I know Lee and Sherry will carry on. We thank God for allowing us to be her neighbors and friends. We love and miss you sweet Irene!

I lived next door to your grandparents and remember spending time with Jake when I was a kid.
I remember playing with you and Ronnie when your family came for summer visits to your grandparents. That was about all I remember of you mom but that has stayed with me for a long time. I remember your uncle Arthur and knew your uncle John all of my life. I even went to school with John’s sons. I am very sorry for you loss. I hope your mom lived a happy life and departed this world in peace. May God bless you and your family.
