My sympathy and prayers are with y'all in your loss. I grew up with Iris and was a few years older than she. We went to the same school and church together. We usually walked home at lunch time together and after school too. She was so sweet and so tiny!

Dear Roney and Family,
In this hour of sadness we can take comfort in knowing that nothing can separate us from God's Love and He will never leave us. John 14:2 " In my father's house there are many dwelling places. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also." Iris is now in His loving care. May you find Peace in His word.
Love from Kenneth, Annette and Emily
