My dearest brother, I am so sorry to hear about Irene. My first time talking with Irene, oh how excited we were to finally get to talk and know each other. Although we have some distance between us, Irene was a wonderful woman that loved life and loved her family. My prayers are with you my brother and the family.
Love
