Not sure what to say?

I look across my street each morning expecting Irene to come out and tend her flower garden. Her daughters have taken that job, and maintained many of Irene's legacy perennials. We are so lucky to have known Irene. She is missed and often remembered warmly.

I taught with Irene at Assumption for many years! She was a wonderful teacher and a most wonderful lady! Her students always loved & respected her. She will be missed by all who loved & knew her!

The bright flowers blooming in Irenes garden have reminded us of her smiling face all through the years since her passing. They are faithful sentinels of the spirit and generosity of our beautiful neighbor.

Amy and Dave,
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family at this sad time. May your many wonderful memories sustain you in the months ahead. Your mom lived an exciting life.

My sincerest sympathy,
Ellen Eismeier
