I was very much sorry to hear of Irene's passing. I grew up with Irene in that Gibson Driveway in the St. Bernard. We all had humble beginnings back then, life was just sooooooooo good back them, we just didn't know it. I remember Irene with her Mother and how much She loved and protected her. We will always be family, (The St. Bernard Alumini), in our hearts and in our souls. Irene was a good person, She was much loved and will be missed. Be strong in the Lord. The Snyder Family

Be Still

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.

Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.

If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.
