How I wish we could all be together to celebrate Irene's wonderful life. She was always family to us, even Molly called her Grandma Irene. Her beautiful smile was always warm and welcoming, she was tolerant and full of llife and love. She just seemed to take what ever life handed her and make everything okay. I know that she knew The Savior is a personal way. It showed in all she did.

Please know our prayers and thoughts are with all of you. We love you so much.

Irene was a great example to all of us of Christ like service. She would light up a room when she walked into it. She has left such a huge void in all our lives. We loved her dearly and are so grateful that she was a part of all our lives.
Thank you so much for sharing her with us. She is truly one of our sisters.
