Chris and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you now. I never met Irene. I feel as if I knew her well, over our 30 + year friendship Chris you spoke lovingly of her often. She had a very devoted family and I'm sure will be missed by all of you.

Love,

Mary Lou

ANGEL IRENE ELIZABETH: There was such (and is) a sweetness and gentleness in God's newest angel. The few times I visited Irene with Christine I felt such a genuine warmth of spirit and friendship. It is difficult to lose such a wonderfu and loving wife, mother, sister and friend, but know that she is at peace and at this moment smiling down on her loving family. My condolences and prayers are with you at this difficult time.
