I met Irene only by phone, twice I think. She was buying a Spark rollator, like her friend's. Our conversation was so fun I thought about hand delivering it from 600 miles away. Now I wish I did. So sorry.

Also sending love to Irene´s family - great obituary. I am Jane Howard´s niece and they had wonderful stories- yes she was an amazing photographer, took stunning photos of my kids that are still displayed. We cherished her visits and letters. I love the historic stories of her in the jazz clubs. Very stylish and inspiring indeed. We will miss her. Sarah Westneat & family
