To Bob and Irene’s children I offer my deepest sympathy. I have known Irene for many years through square dancing. She was a delightful, energetic person and will be missed by all who knew her. She always let people know what she was thinking. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the memorial service.
To the family my deepest condolences. I met Irene when we both were members of Curves. She was a very fun person. I enjoyed her stories of the war. Irene would tell us of the may dances she attended and the long beautiful gowns. She said it was quite the trick to get to the bomb shelters when the sirens went off in those gowns. Irene will be missed.
