I had the privilege of playing bridge in her good company. She was an amazing bridge player, astute until the end.

I never knew Irene, I do however want to express my thanks for her service, and contributions to her country, and her continued contributions throughout her long life to help others. We live in a diversified country, people like Irene make it a much better place. Not to be forgotten.
