Kathy: Your mom and dad were great friends to my mom-- Mrs Stewart, when they lived in Killeen. My mom would take me with her for tea/coffee at your house on Jasper and she was always so kind to me as was your dad. I thought they were great people and my mom thought the world of them. Since they left Killeen we tried several times to find your mom with no luck but my mother would always wonder how she was doing. My family sends out prayers to you and your family. Please know that she is missed.

Kathy & Family,
I met your mom in 2007 when my mom was a resident at "Good Place". They sat together at meal time. I always enjoyed talking with Irene. She was a sweet lady. She prayed over my mom and cried with us when she passed away. It was a pleasure to know your mom.
You are all in our prayers.
