The best words I can describe Aunt Irene is "Love Life". She had an infectious smile and wonderful humor. My favorite was her love for her Polish heritage. I will never forget the times we would polka and my feet would never touch the ground. May she dance with all the angels up above.

Miss you already momma. I will keep your spirit alive always.I will try to make the pierogis, polish sausage, saurkraut and all the polish dishes you made for us just like you did. Mine never taste the same as yours, so I will have to perfect my polish cooking methods. Love forever and always. You taught me a lot in life. Thanks for everything. I can still dance a mean polka.

Aunt Irene was always so much fun and the life of the party!!! This was taken at my son's 8th birthday party. We will forever miss you!

Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
