I was shocked to learn of Irene's passing. We were classmates and friends while at Washington University. I did not hear from her last holiday season which was unusual since we always corresponded at that time of the year. I will miss your insightful letters and your friendship. Rest in peace, dear Irene.

Dr. Dabrowski never got the memo that said that there comes a time to stop loving all that learning. She is sorely missed, and we who share her faith look forward in hope to a share with her in the new creation.
