I was saddened to learn of Irene's passing. I would see her often at daily Mass at St. Camillus and it was always a joy to speak with her, even if it was only for a few minutes. She always left me feeling a bit brighter!

Pauline,

I am so sorry to hear about your mother passing. You, Bobby & Scott are in my thoughts and prayers.

Karen and Pauline,

I will always remember your mom for her poise, impeccable manners, beautiful smile, and gentle way of making you feel important. She had an aura about her that made one feel comforted in her presence. Although I didn't see her often, the world was brighter with her in it. May you find peace knowing she is at peace.

My heartfelt condolences,

Sherri Lopez
Daughter of Jeanne & Lou

Without a doubt, Irene Bellesky, is one of the loveliest people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. She was gracious, exceedingly thoughtful, and I never saw her once that she didn't have a smile on her face. She had a delightful, wry sense of humor and although I did not see her often, I will miss knowing that she is not here walking the earth with us. We have lost one of the best! Irene Bellesky is now where she should rightfully be - at home with our heavenly Father. I hope she will pave the way for the rest of us because I would happily cling to her coat-tails!
Please know, Pauline, Scott, Bobby and Karen that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Yoor mother/grandmother will be sorely missed!
Love, Eileen

I will miss Mrs.B Although I am not in contact with her, Karen or Pauline as often as I wish I was, she was always very kind to me. Her loving ways were always all around her.

I was saddened to hear of Irene's death as I know the central place she held in her beloved family's life and especially her daughter's. As Pauine mentioned to me we know of one angel in heaven and that is she. May the love she conveyed to others continue to shine in all her family's lives as she will not be forgotten.

My mother, Agnes Cleary Gergely, was saddened to hear that Irene died. Irene graduated from Melrose High School in the class of 1940--same as my mom. Mom always enjoyed hearing from her at Christmas and seeing her when she occasionally came back to Melrose. Irene will forever be in Mom's heart--she was a good friend!
