Iris will be missed by more than just the neighborhood of friends here. The red fox and the groundhog visiting their backyard found acceptance, a safe haven and kind hearted people as part of their daily world. We all need more of that. What a sadness for us all. Great sympathy to the family, Hylton Park.

Dear Jack and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. Iris was a ray of sunshine in all of our lives... always brave, always kind, always generous. We will miss her laugh, her great wit and her loyal friendship. You are in our hearts and our prayers.
