Irene and I were childhood friends and went to Komensky School together. I moved and transferred to LaVergne School, also in Berwyn, when I was in the sixth grade. I have always had fond memories of Irene and thought I would look her up, only to find that she has recently Passed on. My condolences to her family and I shall always have fond memories of her and our friendship.

Dear Mike, Jim, and Families,
You have our deepest sympathy on the loss of your Mother, Irene. We loved your Mom and Dad Ray. Dad Ray and I grew up together on Division Street and had many fun times together, and I have warm memories of those bygone days. We know you have fond memories of the special occasions and every day happenings in remembering Mom and that you are also reliving all the joys and good times you had together. Those memories are signs that Mom remains near in...
