Our deepest sympathy at the death of Aunt Irene. We wish we could be there, but the weather is prohibiting that. Will always remember her beautiful gardens. Will always remember the good time she had at her birthday party and how happy she seemed when we saw her in the springs. She will be so happy now to be with Uncle John. Love The Lennons
