Dan, Penny and Family,
I was so glad to see all of you with Mike and especially Aunt Irene during her last weekend in good spirits at home before going home to the Lord just a few days later.
I will always cherish and treasure the many happy memories of my childhood and the summer family visits to Holley, Fancher, Brockville, Brockport and Rochester. Aunt Irene always provided that sense of hospitality, security and that good old common-sense wisdom which made my experiences with all of you through the years some of my most memorable and happiest times in my life. Man I will surely miss her and that beautiful, memorable home on Main Street, USA.
In later years with my own family, I am happy that Aunt Irene got to personally meet and talk to Mary and, later, our sons (great-great nephews). We all remember her fondly. Mary, our boys and I offer our prayers and thoughts to all of you.
Here's to a Great Aunt who was a great aunt. May God's peace through Jesus Christ richly rest with all of you. Until next time...
Love always,
Lillian Valentine
