We are so sorry for the loss of your Mom. Our thoughts and prayers sre with ya'll and your families. Your Mom was special in so many ways, especially if she put up with you Dave and Dad all these years. Some of my best memories with softball are about Ms. Iris and Lennie at the fields and us spending time at the "Gold Mine". God bless ya'll.

I am so very sorry for your loss. I didn't know Iris but I know her daughter Sharon and that tells me she had to be a wonderful mother and person to raise such a person with the heart of TX. May God watch over and guide your family during this time.

Iris gave me a job at the Curly Top Drive-in on N. Magnolia upon moving to Ocala in 1967. She always had a friendly smile to balance her efficient management. Her honesty and fairness and love for family was a natural part of her daily life, thus leaving a lasting impression of a life well lived.
