Iris and her late husband Henry were two of the finest people I have known. The three years we spent living beside them my family was blessed with their kind spirits, their friendship and their sharing of faith. I always told my oldest son that when we visited them, we were on Holy ground and I meant every word. I hope to see them again one day on the Other Side.

You are one person I really wish I had met. All I know about you are the things that those who know you have told, but the people who love you are such remarkable people that you must be a very special person. Heaven must be full of rejoicing and happiness as you join your husband and all the friends and family that got there befoe you. Rejoicing in a life lived in service and love to God, Nell Summerour

Aunt Frankie was a very special, inspirational lady to me. I loved her sweet spirit and her smile. Her and Uncle Henry were such a blessing to me, my family and others.

Iris and the impact she had on so many will live on. She is the true example of a Christian, a wife, and a strong woman. She would light up a room when she entered it and her sense of humor will never be forgotten. She will truly be missed but the influence she has had on me will never be forgotten. I will miss her smile, her laugh, her quick wit, her strong opinions, her advise, and just seeing her in the church pew every Sunday. What a faithful servant.

Iris was a wonderful lady that blessed many many people with her spirit and faith. May that same spirit and faith live on in all of us that knew and loved her.

In loving memory of a beautiful person. "Frankie" was an inspiration to us all. She would light up the room with her smile and her countenance. It was an honor and a priviledge to have known her. We will see her again. We celebrate her full life. God bless you all.
