My prayers go out to the Micheals Family.
Irma was a very hard working, very friendly, and a very social woman.
She was a very interesting woman.
I've had wonderful conversations with her from time to time.
I would always catch her as she would be walking down our road to grab her mail.
We would talk for a good hour at times where 'Her Bernie' would have to get in his car to find out what was taking her so long.
She loved talking about her Bernie ( her true soul mate) her vacation home, her good old days when she was younger and when her family had a farm where the portage high school stands today.
She was always so sweet to me and my kids but even more so to my youngest daughter who shared the same birthday as hers.
She had a Beautiful soul and friendly smile.
I haven't seen her since she went to the nursing home but every time I passed, there hasn't been one time I didn't think of her or 'her Bernie' also known as Mr. Michaels. My heart is heavy for the family as they lost a beautiful soul. May our Heavenly Father comfort the Micheals family at this time and let them know Irma is in a peaceful place in the kingdom of our heavens. Irma will never be forgotten
