Not sure what to say?

Dear Gloria,
I remember how gracious you and Irv were to Gene and me during all the handball activities. He was thought of with respect and great affection. Your friendship was rich and cherished. Be comforted by many wonderful memories. Thinking of you in loving friendship.

Gloria,

I read with sadness in yesterday's Oregonian that Irv passed away. He was such dear friend to my dad (Hank Eder). They loved playing handball together as partners at the MAC. Irv was always friendly and kind to me as a youngster when I was learning to play handball many years ago.

Maybe now he and my dad will be able to play handball together once again in heaven.

God bless and keep you,

Tom Eder

Gloria, I am so sorry for you loss! I loved the many stories you and Irv told about your lives and adventures, and the joy you had in them. Irv's delightful laugh, your smile. I think of you both. Please let me know if there is anything I can do for you.
