I will always think remember your mom as a vibrant woman with a big smile, driving her convertible while Cathy and I slid across the red leather back seats! She was full of life and love and will truly be missed. My mom Rita, has now joined her old Wednesday night card friend. I'm sure the game has started. So sorry for your loss.

I had the joy of visiting your mom twice in the past year. While visiting my aunt Dorothy at Blocher, I recognized her name as part of my mom Adele Urbanski's famous wednesday ladies card club. Irene knew me immediately, and also recalled my sisters and brother. We had a very nice visit. She gave me some insight to my mother that only a contemporary could. May you find peace in your many memories of her.
