Sumy and Bea,
this is your cousin, Butch.
i only have good memories with your mom, all my life.
she was a genious with math and misunderstood.
but, i felt that i did understand her very well. we always got along very well.
i can go on and on. there is not enough space on this site for me to write what I would like to say. so, i must keep this short.
My love and prayers to Sumy and Bea.
I will always miss Irene.
She was my favorite Aunt.
Now, Irene can rest.
