Dear Larry and family of Iris Larssen, I was just forwarded this obit by my dear Chelmsford Garden Club friends. I am so saddened to learn of Iris's passing. I think we just saw Iris at Fishbones on a warm day right before this. Just adored Iris. Such a wonderful and warm and genuine woman. I'm sure the holidays have not been the same without her. Sending you all much love.

So many wonderful, happy memories of countless days spent with my BFF Robin at the Wood Street house. Iris was always busy gardening or cleaning or making some delicious baked treat. And Larry Sr. would help us ride Twinkie in the days before the pool! Iris was also our 4H leader and it was under her guidance that I learned to sew (ah, A-line skirts of kettlecoth...) It was a happy place to be with lots of smiles and laughter, and Iris was at the center of it all. May those memories bring comfort now and in the days ahead. With love, Jan
