I knew Great Aunt Irene when her and Bill would come down from Bristol and stay a few nights with the camper. Eugene, Florence and I would travel to their place in Bristol and meet the other family members there when I was much younger. I loved going there and seeing everything about the campground and the family.

My great grandma Irene was one of the best grandmas you could ask for. I will never forget her and hope my grandma and grandpa will live peacefully in heaven for eternity. God bless them both. much about life

She was a wonderful lady. We shared a lot of talks, laughs and a few tears. We miss her. Our shopping trips for flowers for the campground was one of my favorite times!!
