Dear Myron and Toni, so sorry to learn of Irene's passing. She was a very loving person and you I know were proud of your mother. She accomplished so much in her lifetime. The last few years were difficult for you to watch as her memory had faded. She is now at peace and know that your were a wonderful son & daughter to her. Love, Aunt Bunny

My dear friends, Myron and beautiful Toni, I'm sure it gives you great pleasure in knowing that the "Queen of River Garden" did not waste any time showing off her dancing and singing skills with the angels! May she enjoy her new and everlasting adventure! She was quite the lady! And you Myron, were quite the son! Much love to you both! Jeri
