I want to extend my deepest sympathy to her family and adopted children. I cannot believe Iris is gone. She was such a good friend to me and treated me like one of her own. Iris never met a stranger was always willing to give a helping hand. To those of you who may not know, she was awarded "Woman of the Year", and was so very proud not because of the award but because she helped so many people. I am thankful to God he did not let her suffer too long. Peace be with you my dear friend. You will be missed.
