Mike and Mark,
Deeply saddened by the passing of my Aunt Irene....how can you put 50 years of wonderful memories on paper in a few short lines...I shared so many happy times and built so many memories. She was a GREAT lady , proud woman and a wonderful Aunt and she loved her family greatly and I will miss her temendously. We shared many a thought and a laugh on our walks up the river!!!! The Queen of the River may be gone but her memory will last. I miss her .... Val

Mom is going to be missed by all...she was THE ROCK. She was probably the funniest, most loving and caring woman I've met in a very long time. She raised an incredible family and sure did love "her boys". I wish we could have held on to her longer but God had other plans. Dad is surely happy to have her by his side again. Our loss is Heaven's gain. I'll miss you Mom...always.

Irene,
I always have a smile when I think of you as our neighbor on Sharon Drive. You are a wonderful woman. Keep an eye on Larry, my brother Mike, Winkie, Brenda and Jamie Smith. I'll think of you as I and my hubby walk the Niagara. Maybe you all will be there fishing.
Always,
