I sure will miss Irene my first cousin and dear friend. I will be at the funeral. God bless her soul and RIP Jerry.
I am sorry to hear of Aunt Irene’s passing. I will remember her most by her smile and laughter. Some of my fondest childhood memories include the Easter egg and basket hunts the she organized for all the cousins on her farm.
So sorry to lose our neighbor, Irene of over 40 years. We would see her at St.Vincents when visiting Ruby. Our thanks to her for all she did for our community. May she now have eternal rest in her new heavenly home. Jan “Toot” and Casey
