Iris was the kindest and sweetest person and my Mom's (Betty Vick Hoover) close friend. They were actually more like sisters. She will be missed so much. I have attached my favorite photo of them which was taken by my sister, Barbara Hoover Tierney. Love and Hugs to all of Iris's friends and relatives.
