Irene A. Farrington

9 months have gone by and I have so much I want to tell you. I still still pick up the phone to call you when something happens. I love you mom.

Your Mother Is Always With You
Your mother is always with you...
She's the whisper of the leaves
as you walk down the street.

She's the smell of bleach in
your freshly laundered socks.

She's the cool hand on your
brow when you're not well.

Your mother lives inside
your laughter. She's crystallized
in every tear drop...

She's the place you came from,
your first home.. She's the map you
follow with every step that you take.

She's your first love and your first heart
break....and nothing on earth can separate you.

Not time, Not space...
Not even death....
will ever separate you
from your mother....

You carry her inside of you....

Ma it's been 7 months. I didn't think I could make it through the holidays and your birthday but I did. I put a smile on for my kids but inside I wasn't smiling. I wish I could go back in time. I feel so numb and empty.

Today is your 80 birthday. I wish you were here to celebrate it. If there is really a heaven then I hope you and dad are together today.
I love you mom

It's been 6 months mom. I miss you so much and I have so much I wanna tell you. Things will never get better.

5 months you have been gone and I still can't except it.

4 months and it still doesn't seem real. I wasn't ready to let you go.

Mom we miss u so much and will always love you u were a wonderful mother and friend and touched so many lives

Eileen

Ma
Three months have gone by and I still think you are gonna walk through my door.
I miss you.

Were going to look at a bunch of reception halls and churches next Saturday!! Im so excited.. We Love you

Just saying I Love You Nan bc i miss you so much and still think about you literally every second of every hour of every day of every week and of every month that has passes thus far! I have moments where im at peace and moments where I struggle. I'm blessed you have gotten to meet my future wife who has been amazing throughout this whole grieving process or whatever you want to call it. She listened to many stories, wiped many tears and gave many encouraging words. I literally do as much as can to talk to you, whether its writing on here, going to your grave, calling your cell phone just to leave a voicemail you will never hear, seeing you in my dreams and speaking with you through my prayers. I just miss you more than anything and could go on forever about it and how much you're missed by everyone. Lil' Ant knows your in heaven with the angels he always says to me when we go visit you, and I miss you calling him a pansy because he cries over everything, and all the time you spent with Aundraia I cant wait to tell her all the stories about how crazy and tough her Nanny was. Ill continue to do as much as I can to keep you apart of our lives till the day we all pass over. It sucks that your gone but I know your with me now more than ever before and thank you for guiding my mom and staying with her through her surgery. Thank you and I love you more than these words could ever amount up to.. I Love You Nan!!!

For you mom

G, Dot, Artie, Eddie, Eileen and Debbie,

So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. Irene was always full of life and always told it like it is. How could you not love a lady like that. My deepest sympathies to you all.

Tim and Rosella Elliott

Dot, Kasey, and Kyla,

I am so sorry for your loss. I know she meant the world to you guys and that you guys meant the world to her. Yes physically she is gone, but know that she lives on with you girls in your hearts. Cherish all the special memories that you have of her and hopefully that will ease the pain. I was fortunate enough to know her, she was a very special person. I will miss her.

I was very sad to hear of Irene's passing, what a sweetheart she was. She always had a smile on her face, loved the way she said my name with that little accent, she will be missed!!

So sad to see Irene had passed, one of my favorite patients, and one of then nicest too. Best regards to the family.

Wow my heart is broken for everyone who knew her,bc if you knew her you loved her! Ive known Irene aka Nan since i was about 17yrs old and I'm now 33, she was such a strong hearted, amazing woman, she would do anything for her loved ones, she was so brutally honest too, if you got fat she had no problem letting you know :-) she was always good for a laugh. Id see her all over watervliet and she always always spoke to me, asked about My kids, no matter how much time passed she never forgot me... I'm so sad i won't see her anymore:-( to Dawn & April and Anthony, I'm so sorry... But mostly Deb... I can't imagine losing my mom, I'm so so sorry,i feel lucky that i was able to know her and i will never forget her... Xoxo

Art and Family, So sorry to hear of your mom...may God's love surround you and bring you comfort during this difficult time.

Nan I can't believe you're not here anymore. You were the most important influence on my life no matter what was going on. You always told me the truth whether I wanted to hear it or not and the way you pushed me to better myself I will never forget. You had the biggest hand in the man I've become today and I can't thank you enough. All the memories of you with all of us grandchildreb over the years are flooding my mind and I know you wouldn't want any of us crying over you but we can't help it. I love you so much nan I miss you like crazy. I think about you every second of everyday. Tell grandpa I said hello. Rest in peace nan. I love you more than anything.

Anthony, Sean, Kristen and Thomas,

My deepest condolences for the loss of your Nan. I can honestly remember like it was yesterday she was carting you guys all over for practices, games and bringing you back and forth from the Dome to the bank to Rollerblade. Always a sweet person without a mean bone in her body. My thoughts are with all of you and my heart as well. Find comfort in each other and look back on all the memories. Love to you all!

Dear Art & Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your dear Mother. I remember her as a kind, gentle lady. God bless you all during this difficult time. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear family of Irene---The sudden loss of Irene was a shock to David, Kristian and me! Please know you are not alone as you face the daunting path of grief and mourning. I cannot remove the heartache you're suffering, but I can and will surround you with my love and prayers to help you heal. Please keep in your heart all the shared loving moments you had with her, that way she'll always be a thought away. Love to you all!

Jesse, Nicole, and Family...so sorry for your loss.

I Love you Nan more than anything in this world and miss you and think about you every second of everyday. You have always been there for me throughout my whole childhood and adulthood. Bringing me to all my football and baseball games and making sure I was fed everyday while I was at your house. I Love you and I held on to your hand as long as they would let me so you weren't alone. I know your safe in Heaven and looking down on all of us making sure we are ok. I LOVE YOU MORE THAN ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD!!!!

Love,
Anthony
