Dear Irma, When I didn't hear from you at the time we had planned, I thought it was probable that you had passed away because you were so consistently there for me for over 20 years and that would be the only reason.I could never thank you enough for the love and care you have provided me with. I hope you are at peace with the knowledge of how much you loved and were loved. I will miss you.

We just learned of Irma's passing. She has been a wonderful friend to our family, since we first met her as our then 8-year-old son's learning resource specialist. She served as our Family Counselor for more than 19 years, helping us work through many of the trials of family life. She was an inspiration and a true friend. We will sorely miss her.

Oh, how we'll all miss Irma. She was a unique person and made everyone feel special. She was my neighbor and my friend, and in later years, which saw my family located all over the U.S., she stayed in touch with all of us. You've worked hard, Irma - now rest with Gail, and know that you will never be forgotten.Fondest memories, Edie Tanenbaum

Irma will live in my heart always. Her ability to love her family and those she took under her wing was utterly magnificent. Long conversations on the phone conversing on just about everything. I always came away from our talks, with lots of fresh ideas, more grounded and re-energized to meet the challenges of the day. She was my art "cheerleader" and took the time to look deeply into my creative process. This was not a unique service just to me; it was Irma, doing what she knew best... seeing the beauty in others and letting them know it. And, she could be tough when necessary...but always with compassion and great wisdom. She was just so, so, special. Hard, so hard to say goodbye to this delightful, sometimes eccentric, wonderful being.

Dear Ones, We loved Irma and were so happy when she moved near us in Florida. We were so excited to be friends and neighbors again. Her joy was her beloved children and grandchildren and of course being near Sid. She was so happy in the sunshine. Our love, Elaine and Daniel Fischer

Our deepest sympathy to Sid, Steve and Aryeh,
Irma has been a best friend, sister, and mentor since our teaching days. Spending a day together last month in Florida was one of the most memorable visits we have had together. She was so excited to be in warmer weather and a place for her grandchildren and children to visit.
Irma was her usual upbeat, funny and unique self that will always and forever illuminate. We will miss you Irmie...
Love Diane and Larry
