I remember Iris fondly. I worked with her at Social Security when it was located in the post office in Independence. She was a very kind and caring person. It was my honor to have known her. I'm very sorry for your loss of a wonderful mother and grandmother.

Our thoughts and prayer's are with you. We are so very sorry for your loss, Iris was such a wonderful, classy lady. She alway's made us feel at home when we would come to her house. She loved making her homemade chicken and dumplings for Rance when he come to town. She was loved by everyone who ever had the pleasure of meeting her. She will be missed by all.
