Much sorrow as I hear of this today. Iris had a profound contribution to me and the heart of my career, how to manage my daughter in difficult times, and how to live with integrity. She was a blessing to my life and I know to yours as well. I pray for you all in this sorrowful time as we all reflect and remember a woman who was full of joy and love for all. Cathy Kelley
