Your mother was my parents (Comers) neighbor at the retirement homes and she was a great help several times in our time of need. We enjoyed visiting with her. My parents knew your parents since they also were from the Otterbein area. Linda Comer Stepp

To the Perry Family. I'm so sorry for your loss. I worked with Irma at Kohl's and she was such fun to have around. After working with her for over a year, we found that we had a mutal friend and realized that Irma knew my parents before I was born. We shared a good laugh with that one. Irma was a great lady and I'm sure she will be missed. Remember the happy times. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your families.
