We will always remember Irene as a person who was willing to help in any way she could. She was funny and wise in many ways. We are sad at her passing. She is now in the loving arms of our God with no more suffering. May the Lord give her family and friends comfort in this difficult time. (Former Mother Seton parishioners.)

Life is so fragile; Loss is so sudden; and Hearts so broke. In the suddenness of loss, we are haunted by things we don't, and may never understand. So we look for comfort in the belief of love's everlasting connection. May that love lift you and hold you close, and give you peace. Kathy, Steve, Tom, Kristen and Jessica.....keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
