Iris was a wise and kind person. She guided my son in career choice at Post-Graduate Center. She also was a wonderful board member of the Metro NY National Rehabilitation Association. She is still missed by her friends.

I am a friend of Iris's youngest child. Iris was always so warm to me. She always made me feel welcome in her presence. I loved watching Bob and Iris together. They adored each other.

The Rehabilitation Community will forever remember Iris as a most dedicated and caring professional whose legacy will live on through the countless people whose lives she touched.
I will always remember how fondly she spoke of her family whom she loved dearly... she was truly an inspiration to each person who was fortunate enough to know her. My condolences to all.

There are no words to convey the depth and scope of Iris's contributions to the Rehabilitation Profession, her legacy lives on in our work as she truly inspired all of us. It was a distinct pleasure to have worked with her through NRA Metro Chapter and I will truly miss her words of wisdom, historic perspective and quick wit.
My condolences to her family whom she loved and spoke so fondly of all the time.

Dear Family of Iris and Bob: It was such a pleasure to have known both of your parents. I am so glad I spent some time with Iris this summer. I liked hearing about her first jobs right out of college. You were all blessed to have such an intelligent and loving mother and grandmother.
