I had the privilege of working with Ms. Luna at Olton High School for two years and she always had a positive outlook on life despite its trials and tribulations. Her warmth, sincerity, and love for others were qualities that I will always remember about Irene. She was a very special lady! May God bless you as He richly blessed us with her!
