Iris M. Potis

I will never forget Aunt Iris and will always treasure all our time spent together. She is truly the best person I have ever known.

I am still passing along your wise words and expressions to my children and my new young friends and thinking of you with every word. As my daughter prepares for her wedding its me sitting where you sat over 30 years ago watching the fashion show of wedding dresses and wishing you were sitting next to me.
