Aunt Irene's passing, deeply saddens me. Due to ill health I was not able to attend her services. I have many fond and happy memories of her. When she came to visits to our home and when I visited her, I always knew that there would be much laughter and music. I wish I had been able to visit her more. Aunt Irene you are with G Grandma Anne and Uncle Slim now and I know there was a wonderful reunion with them, You will be greatly missed here.
