Prayers for peace and comfort to Irene's family and friends. Irene & Morrie lived next door to my parents in Portage (Ray & Dee Ballestero). Irene made the quilt that i currently have on my bed, one which i hold dear. Irene was such a nice woman who loved her family and neighbors. Peace.

I have many wonderful memories of Mrs. Schechner. One of my favorites is baking with her and Karen at Christmas. We made big nut rolls in the shape of a candy cane - lots of them! I think we made enough candy cane nut rolls for the whole neighborhood. She was smart and funny and a great baker! My sincere sympathies and prayers to the entire family.
