I used to work with Iris Lein back in the day at Newspaper Agency Corporation. She was always ready to share her views and ably defended her opinion if there was disagreement. Iris was a pip. She will be missed.

Our Grandmother was a wonderful lady. She was there for us from the time we were born until she died. She always loved to spend time with us as well as her Great Grand Children. We will all miss her greatly.
