iris ,
you were a dear friend and we will always remember fondly our "friendly" volleyball games as well as the many nights we spent sharing things like our game nights with the meals and laughs we shared , what great times we had.
there was also the time we all piled in an old bluebird school bus and headed to a convention in tennesee and spent a weekend with friends near and far.
we will always cherish the memories of you as a healthy , funny and vibrant person that you were before things changed.
your in a better place today , we love you and your memory will live in us until we meet again.
