The Johnsons were a wonderful family. My mom and Hazel were co-leaders of our Girl Scout troop, which met at their house. Sincere condolences to the Duffys.

I went to school with Irene at Clark Technical Institute, now Clark State College. She was having a time with shorthand and I offered to tutor her. She said her blood pressure wouldn't tolerate her taking shorthand so she dropped it from her classes. Her husband, Michael and I worked together at International Harvester Company, now International Truck and Engine Corporation. Both Irene and Mike were kind, caring, and sincere friends whom I remember well even though it's been more years than I can count since I've seen them. Mike, I'm so sorry about Irene. I will always remember her smile and her love for you when we were all so young. She knew what she wanted and it was you. The perfect loving couple - so proud of both of them. Miss them and can't believe all these years are gone. So sorry for Irene's passing. She was one of life's beautiful people.
