Irene and Bud were our next door neighbors since 1986. They were such a pleasure to be around and we miss them dearly. They also knew my parents and Mark's parents. They were like an extended family. Mark and I would visit with them for hours. We used to do backyard neighborhood cookouts with them. Irene was so sweet and easy to talk to. She loved Bud very much. Irene loved her family very much also and was so lucky to have their support especially during the last few years. Irene never complained and was such a special person. Mark and I have so many wonderful memories. Our neighborhood will never be the same...
