Sorry for the late message---Can't believe a year has gone by since Irma's passing. We continue to have fond memories of all the good times we shared annually with Irma and Heinz over the many years in our annual trek to Palm Springs. God bless.

Guys, I'm so sorry to hear about Irma's passing. I loved her so much! She and your dad were some of my favorite people of my whole life. She was so kind, the best listener, always good-tempered and laughed at your dad's silly jokes! I'm the eldest of the Feller kids and remember her since I was very young, maybe 5 or 6. Nothing but good memories of your parents and mine sitting around the table enjoying something yummy your mom made, laughing and sharing stories. I can't say enough good...

My sympathy to the family. I worked with Irma when she served on the Home & Community Education Board. She was a good member & was very thoughtful with her ideas. It was pleasure to know her & work with her.
