Iris Dee Finkel

Saul, Erin and Brett...Iris-You fought a long, hard and courageous battle. I am so honored to have had you as a part of my life and family. You truly were an amazing person who I got to laugh with so much. Will always smile when I see peeps, M&M's, potato chips and dip and Coke! I will miss you always and look forward to seeing you again and being able to laugh with you again. Love you always !! ♥

Saul, Erin, Brett...words cannot express how sad I am that you all are experiencing such heartache. No matter how many times you have experienced a loved one passing before,no matter how ill they many have been, you are never prepared for the overwhelming grief. As I looked through the pictures, my sister alerted me to one in particular. Iris and Sylvia as little girls, flower girls, at my own dearly departed mother's and father's wedding. Iris was beautiful inside and outside. I share my...

Dear Iris: I woke up this morning thinking of you. When my sister Cheryl and I were kids and you and Sylvia were teenagers, we thought you were so cool. You were so nice to two dorky cousins.
Thank you for putting on my false eyelashes at cousin Stevie's Bar Mitzvah. Thank you for bringing me ice chips later that night after I drank my first Screwdriver and got so sick.
Thank you for lending me your wedding dress, complete with the "nurse's cap"
headpiece and veil. I felt...

I will remember you Iris always with a smile especicially when I am having potato chips and dip, M&Ms and Coke.That was our favorite spot together at parties while we laughed and made fun of people lol! I will always treasure those...

Iris, we hoped early on that you would be one of the lucky survivors of this horrible disease, but nature had other plans. You were an incredible woman all the way through and we could only admire your positive attitude. We loved your visits to the Berkshires and looked forward to our meetings in Florida. We will miss you so much. Our thoughts are with all of the family today. With love, Marilyn and Michael

When someone you love is diagnosed with something so awful and devastating as cancer, you know this day will come. However, I don't think anyone can ever truly be prepared for this day.

I will miss my Mom more than words can say and I don't know how I will ever get through this, but I am thankful she is at peace. She fought so damn hard and is truly one of the bravest and strongest people I know. I believe the love for and from her family is what always kept her going. We had...

Our hearts are heavy as a wonderful and loving part of out family is gone.

Aunt Iris , you will be missed but will always be in our thoughts
