Thanks Sabrina. It’s nice.
I’m related to her daughter in law Sandi. I’m so sorry for family loss!
What a beautiful lady. It took my breath away when I saw her picture……. she looks so much like her mother and even more so her Aunt Helen. She will be missed, I know. Our deepest condolences to your family. I am happy that she will be with her mom, dad and family now and celebrate with them in heaven for the good life she had here and will have there. God bless and comfort those she has temporarily left behind. Jean Donati Fortner
We’ll miss you, mom. It is hard to believe you are gone.
What a dear sweet lady Irene was. I never saw her without a smile and I can still hear her ready laugh. Despite lots of challenges in her life, she was always able to find the beauty to enjoy. She was truly a gracious lady. What a great example she was to me. My prayers and thoughts to all her loved ones. She will be missed tremendously.
