Irene was the best baby sitter ever. I was always part of the family. I am so sad that because of work I cannot be there but I hold the entire West family in my heart. I love you all. Irene is in heaven fussing with Wilburn and I hope she tells him I said to "leave her alone:)". Love you all.

We were saddened by the news of Irene's passing as I truly believe everyone that knew her loved her very much. She is a child of the Most High God so we know she is in heaven. I can almost see her face light up when she saw Jesus face to face. She will be sorely missed, but the good news is that we can all see her again in heaven. God Bless the West Family, we love you all...
