My thoughts and prays are with your family.
Roy and Irene were always so kind to me. It is because Roy recruited me that I ended up in Chicagoland after relocating from New York in 1973.I worked for him for a total of 11 years between Cinch and TRW. I will always be grateful to these two kind and generous people.

I have always thought fondly of Aunt Irene. She was a special lady who always was smiling. Condolences to you and your family for the loss of this great lady.

Your mom has been on my heart for the past month. I was making her homemade chicken soup (from her handwritten recipe cards!) on the day that she passed away. She & your dad were so wonderful to me when we were growing up, Sue! I will never forget them. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love always, Pati

I send my prayers for your Mom. It's been awhile since we visited but I was both your Mom's and Dad's Realtor for so many years, selling both Inverness on the Ponds homes and relocation to Willow Creek. So many of her things are in MY HOME because she knew that it would keep my memory of her alive, and it does, every day. Both Ray and Irene were very special to me. My thoughts and best memories to all the family. Mary Ann Falkenberg
