Irene, Life will never be the same without you..I miss you very much. You are a great friend.. When I get to heaven I want to live on the same street as you so we can have our Saturday morning coffee together... It was an honor to have you as a friend.I will never take that for granted I will find a new normal someday but it will never compare to our friendship we shared for so many years.. We have lots of memories and funny stories to remember. You left a legacy of deep and lasting...

Mom, We miss you so much, but are so grateful for those last days we had with you at home. You were a wonderful mom! Thanks for teaching us to love each other and wanting to spend time together!

I have so many fun and precious memories of your Mom. I'm just sorry I haven't seen her for so long. What a legacy she has left. Not too many people experience the happiness and love she received from her family and friends. She always made my family feel welcome and special. I will never forget that. God's peace to you all at this time.

Love, Paula Hanninen

One of God's best! We will surely miss this classy lady who loved her Lord and made us laugh so many times. We'll see you soon...

She now rests in peace. The last time that I saw her, she was watching a "Survivor" episode with her family. I will smile whenever I see that show as I will think of her and how much fun she was having. Prior to that it had been many years since I had seen her but I could tell the joy she brought to so many people as I listened to her friends and family last night at the reviewal and looked at the pictures. She was a very special lady and I know how much she will be missed. She now lives...

What a great woman, a pillar for all of us.
We will miss her.

I will always remember Irene's welcoming smile every time I saw her. She was truly a lady - kind to all of those she came in contct with and there was a sweet strength that she possessed. I can't wait to see her dancing and in good health in Heaven.

Diane, Barry, Robin, Jackie and Maxine:


We were so sorry to hear about Irene. I'm so glad I got to see her in April when in Mpls. She was such a good neighbor and friend. I remember to good times we had living next door. Irene is happy now being reunited with Bob and George and Jean. Love to you all.
