I learned of Irma's passing only today, while attending a monthly luncheon for retired railroaders in Madison Heights. I worked with Bob on the Southern and have fond memories of visiting with him and Irma at their home after Bob had retired and also at the annual retirees' dinner. She was a very sweet lady and I'm sure she will be missed by all who knew her.

My condolences to the family on her passing and may God bless her and grant the family Peace.

Jane, RC and Debbie,

I'm so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother, Irma. I have such fond childhood memories of your home and your parents on Grumman Place. I remember watching Dark Shadows in the afternoons after school with Debbie and your mother making Chef Boyardee pizzas. Mrs. Fields was such a good mother to you all and I know you will miss her dearly. Sincerely, Susie Pearson Taylor
