We are praying for you, please pray for us.

My dearest Irene, I have missed you every day. Thanksgiving is next week and I am thinking about all the years we have shared that holiday at your house. There are so many happy memories that I treasure. You are in my heart and soul always. Love, Joann

I remember Aunt Irene amd Uncle Joe always with a smile. They are both in heaven.

You had been at Good Shepherd for as long as I can remember. You would tell me once in a while that you fondly remembered my Mom (Mary Lynn) that passed away 17 years ago and that always made me smile. Also remember you attending BINGO at Good Shepherd for many years. You will be missed, but I am confident you are with the Lord.

My dearest Irene, or as I call you "St. Irene" you have been a "blessing" in my life.I will keep you and our memories in my heart forever.I love you "Sister"
Joann
