Theresa! I am so sorry to hear about your Mom's death. I saw the obituary too late to come for visitation or the funeral. I would have loved to have seen your family. This is a great picture of your mom. Earline Stash

When I was about eight years old (mid 1960s), my dad was stationed at Hickam AFB in Hawaii, and Aunt Irene came to visit us. We went to the airport to pick her up and she got off the plane with a large pizza in her hands. It was delicious! Aunt Irene was always so beautiful, fun and full of life. So kind and thoughtful, she never failed to send a card every birthday and at Christmas. With fondest memories and deepest sympathy,

Irene is my dearest sister and best friend. Although I was two years older, Irene was always looking after me when we were growing up. Even as grown women with families of our own, we still continued to share our lives, visiting back and forth and constantly talking on the phone. It was always more fun when we got together! So many good times and wonderful memories! Sincere condolences and loving thoughts,

We wish you all the very best, and are so sorry for your loss.. We loved your mother like you would not believe as I was closer to her than any other Aunt. She would bring stuff out for the girls, like eye color, lip gloss etc. and they all would play make up. Well again our sincere sympathy and make God Bless you all and keep you strong.
We love you all very much and your Mother will be very missed. Also our condolences to Leon just as much.
