Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of the Ioss of Irene. I remember going to the Friends Church when I was little, with my Auna, and listening to the singing. Those ladies sure could belt out a beautiful tune

Sending my condolences for your loss of your matriarch. She was a good woman, & always was good to my little family and me. She left all of us better people that we would have been. What a prayer warrior! Anna (Poe Ramoth) Weiss

Memories of Irene, her family and all the people of Noorvik will never be forgotten. All along the Kobuk river from Kotzebue to Selby Lake, the Inupiaq spirit remains forever. John Barrier "puni'avalook"

Praise God, her hair piece that she uses often! Her love for her boss Jesus and the strong Faith she had! As a young girl I used to wonder how someone can love someone they can´t see! I will miss her always happy and thankful! Aww Praise God was her saying too! Love you Auntie thank you for being a role model in my life! And your support for our Families! I named my 3rd daughter after her Grace Irene Field! Praise God I´m a Field again she said!
