Not sure what to say?

Grandma,

Since you’ve been gone, I have been married, got a new job, bought a home, a new car and gave birth. You would be so happy for me and you would absolutely love Gabby and you met Ryan’s two kids Cole and Lilly! They have grown so much!! Ryan and I named our daughter after you, Gabriella Irene Page. She is truly a blessing to us and our lives. She knows exactly who you are, because even though you have been gone for close to 10 years and you never met her, we talk about you...

I will miss you Aunt Irene...I know you'll see Mama,Nannie and Grandaddy,and Aunt Audrey and everyone else I miss.I just found out a couple days ago. Seems like everyone's leaving us,but I have memories of us going shopping when we brought Nannie over to see you. What a lot of fun those trips were. Praying for you David and the family....Sherry

Missing you like crazy....... I love you Grandma!

To Irene's family and friends,

Please accept our sympathies on your loss.

Like Irene, we were "Northern" transplants from Massachusetts. We had to wonderful opportunity to know Irene through her faith, at Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish in Blackstone. We appreciated her insight, her love of the Boston Red Sox, and the meaning of giving of self. Whenever we chaired the annual Parish Picnic and Yard Sale, Irene never hesitated about offering her help.

Our thoughts and...

To Family and Friends of Irene,
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
We have all been blessed by Irene .. Her jokes and laughter will live on in our memories with her summer visits to Betty and Harold. Irene always celebrate her life; making new and precious memories. I bet she is sharing a fun story in Heaven now. Irene was one of the kindest,nicest, happiest person I have known. She always had a smile and a story to share no matter what she was going through. Peace and comfort to...

The memories of a lifetime live in memory... a highlight of every summer was when Aunt Irene would make her way east to hang out by the pool... I still see her red hat... I personally loved her political sensibilities... and her love for Boston and Baseball which cannot be separated...

I know that her quick wit and company will be missed by Mom,Dad and Chris... The Betty and Harold Morris family loved Aunt Irene...

and... memories live forever!
