I worked with Irma in the Emergency Room through the '80s, often driving her home after work. She put many a smile on my face, occasionally driving me to hysterical laughter. She remains, without exageration, one of my favorite people of all time.

Ann, Ron & Fred,
I was sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. I live in Maryland now and often feel disconnected from everyone back in Albany. It seems that it is only when something sad like this happens that we reach back out across the miles. Know that you and your family are always in our memories and at this time, also in our thoughts and prayers.
