Irma. We go way back my friend. Elementary to be exact. It took me a few years to understand when my mom past back in 2012. When people would say. She's in a better place. Because I was selfish and wanted my mom here. But I've learned. With that my friend I say. You're in a better place. Sorry I lost contact with all after joining the military. Love you my friend.

Irma and I became friends at the TXCPA Hearings GC. If you were the new girl on the block, Irma was the one you would want to meet. She took me as a girl name Parnell and so when she got to know me all I ever heard from her was Parnell your crazy! I am grateful of her training and much more for her friendship. She always made sure that Humor at work was there. We laughed we cried. She cared with compassion in her ♥. Irma to me was a god sent friend so no doubt her spirit, faith and memories will always be with me. Irma fly high now for angels are always among us. She truly is now.
