Jerry, Maxie, and, Ernie,
I am sorry to hear about the death of your mother. I stopped by to visit with her a few years ago, and, she recognized me before she got to the front door, which brought out her usual cheerful greeting that I remember from growing up when coming over to play as kids at your house. I have a lot of good memories about Irene to cherish, as I know many others will do the same. She will be missed at the church and around New Holland, and, by many, many friends and loved ones. Thinking of you all in your time of loss.

I think Irene was just the best. She was with me when I was baptised, I will always remember her. She was always there when I needed her. She has gone home but we will miss her.
I know the family will miss her alot because she was so loving and giving. God bless.

I will always remember the good times with Irene and my great aunts, Hallie and Jack Smith. They had a knitting club and I looked forward to visiting with them at their gatherings. Irene was a very special lady. I know each of you have wonderful memories of her.

I was thought she was so pretty. And such a loving mother. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Shelia Browning Williams
