We have been out of town and just learned of your mother's death. What a wonderful lady she was! It has been years but I can still remember the sound of her laughter. My deepest sympathies to you both.

Carma and Donna,
I was so sorry to hear about your mom. Someone shared this thought with me when Mom died so I'd like to share it with you too.

God said, Irene, why don't you just come home with me? And that is what your mom did. She went home with God.

Our thoughts are with you.

We will miss the little Birthday parties, we shared with Irene on her Special day, the way she would giggle at us girls, as we reminiscenced about time gone by, or what we had done the night before. And the way her face would light up when she saw Ian, and think back to our wedding day, when he crawled under my dress. We loved to make her smile, she had a smile that would light up a room, and reminded me of Grandma Helen.
